Safety and supervision is our number one priority.  We are incredibly diligent when it comes to the use of safety equipment, helmets and certified lifeguards. Every staff member is certified in First Aid and CPR.  Incredible scrutiny is taken in recruiting the staff team to provide you with responsible and dynamic individuals who have proven leadership abilities.  Our commitment to each and every tour member is a responsibility that is shared by all of our group leaders.

Our specialty is creating groups in which everyone is included. It helps that many tour members come as individuals.  It also helps that we have a genuinely, geographically diverse enrollment.  We take great care in assembling groups to insure an incredible social experience. Groups are generally 40-50 teens grouped separately and compatibly by age.

We stay at great hotels and resorts and have great campus stays. During our camping stays, our experienced leaders will introduce the fun of camping and guide you in all you need to know. We stay at private campsites, as well as at a few state or national parks, where you’ll find indoor, private hot showers and bathroom facilities, a beach or pool, a general store and sports facilities. We stay in spacious cabin style tents and provide each tour member with a deluxe camping cot and self-inflating air mattress for a comfortable night’s sleep.  You will also enjoy the comfort of having your luggage right next to you in the tent. 

We provide delicious and nutritious meals to satisfy the most particular of eaters and will gladly accommodate most special dietary requests.  Restaurants vary from the trendy Cheesecake Factory, Hard Rock Café, Planet Hollywood to an authentic meal San Francisco’s Chinatown.  On camping trips, food is purchased fresh daily and refrigerated in our “kitchen on wheels”, a customized truck that supports the tour.

We charter deluxe, air conditioned coaches with professional drivers who remain with us the whole time.  All vehicles are the latest models providing the safest transportation possible and are equipped with CD stereo/video systems, driver cell phone and rest room.
