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.

The hallmark of a summer with Westcoast Connection has always been special individual attention and extraordinary care devoted to each tour member. Our staff’s experience and “bag of tricks” bring together spirited, warm, zany, and tightly knit tour groups where everybody is included in an enriching travel program. Our greatest satisfaction remains the calls and letters we receive from our travelers and their parents attesting to the special care of our leaders.
