Testimonials I had so much fun on the Great Lakes Voyage trip. We stayed busy all the time and there was so much to see and do. The ropes course and canoeing were my favorite activities, but I enjoyed everything. I would love to go again. ---Sophia E. My child developed independence on his trip to the Tetons. The trip allowed him to experience a variety of new situations - travel, make new friends, experience new parts of the world, raft in a river, and see geysers and mud pots - all in a safe environment that set high expectations for personal responsibility. ---Brad Baker My daughter really enjoyed the experience. She has asked if she can go one more time (8th grade year). The staff was great, answered all our questions and communication throughout the trip was nice to have. We highly recommend all the Trek and Travel trips. ---Jennifer Tamborski One of my favorite things about the Yellowstone Adventure trip was going to Yellowstone. We got to see lots of sites, and we saw lots of wildlife including, bears, wolves, mountain goats, and much more. We also got to camp two nights in the park. The whole trip was tons of fun even though I was the only girl in my group. ---Allison White The staff on the trip (namely, Kevin Z.) did a terrific job with keeping the communication lines open so parents could see (photos) and read (posts on social media) what the kids were experiencing. The amount of activities engaged the students the entire duration of the trip. Activities were educational, physical and memorable. ---Tanya Kwiatkowski
