28 YEARS AGO, Westcoast Connection – Teen Travel Experiences began with the goal of using exciting, memorable travel to enlighten and inspire teenagers and to enhance their understanding of themselves along the way. With a simple philosophy of “EACH & EVERY” we could never have guessed how many thousands of teens would come to share in our spirited and tightly knit groups where everybody is included in an enriching program.

The philosophy of respecting the individual while also creating a bonded group is as important today as it was when we began. And even more important in today’s global community is the need for teens to travel beyond the classroom and away from home. By moving outside their comfort zone, our tour members experience different cultures and new adventures that encourage self-development.

To celebrate our 28 years of providing diverse and exciting active experiences, we have dedicated our 360° Student Travel website to our Community Service, Language Programs, Adventures and Pre-College Enrichment. Regardless of travel style, all programs are created with the understanding that no matter what you want to accomplish during the summer, the challenges and experiences should be enjoyable as well as rewarding. We know the importance of helping teens achieve success, and we know the vital importance of balance for the sake of celebrating that success.
