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.

Under the direction of our responsible, caring leaders, we are excited to offer you the best itineraries in teen travel. Our trips are balanced to include the most exciting activities and at a comfortable pace.

Teens that choose to travel with us benefit from a genuine, geographically diverse enrollment. The certainty that everybody is not all from one area, knowing one another before the summer, helped eliminate cliques at the outset and establish an open environment that benefits all. Last season, over 85% of our travelers were from across the USA, with the balance from Canada and overseas.
