Travel For Teens

Travel For Teens believes that summer travel should be both fun and enriching. We offer cultural exploration, community service, language, and photography as well as Younger Teens and Older Teens programs to Europe, Africa, Latin America, Oceania, Asia, and North America for students entering 7th grade through college.

From years of working with teenagers and young adults, we’ve learned what’s engaging and interesting, and what isn’t. We create travel and study abroad itineraries for the summer that are fun and exciting, as well as well as culturally educational. We see hordes of teens walking around Europe with blank disinterested faces all too often, so to stray away from boring teen travel we provide our participants with choices each day rather than a rigid itinerary. Enjoy art? Check out the Reina Sofia Museum in Madrid. More of a soccer fan than an art buff? Tour the Real Madrid Futbol Stadium instead! As Seasoned travelers we recognize that unplanned activities are often the most memorable, which is why we are always flexible when there is a local festival or special art exhibit the group is interested in season. For example, this summer during the World Cup we made sure all of our teens in Germany at the time were able to get in on the action and be a part of the once in a lifetime experience. Our Staff Regardless of the travel trip you choose, if your leaders aren’t fun, the trip won’t be fun. Travel for Teens employs responsible, knowledgeable, well traveled, fun loving staff. Our trip leaders and counselors work to ensure that all students are both having the time of their lives AND learning (without even realizing it!). Education All Travel for Teens summer programs are designed to be as educational as they are fun. In fact, many TFT trip leaders and counselors are former or current educators. While some of TFT’s programs are focused on a particular activity (photography, language study, community service, etc.), cultural exploration programs (which do not include classes or volunteer work) are no exception when it comes to learning. TFT’s goal is for every student to absorb cultural nuances, culinary treats, and interesting historical facts on every trip. On foreign language programs, we find engaging ways to enhance classroom learning with scavenger hunts, trips to the market, or challenges that require participants to interact with locals. On our photography programs, teens are exposed to professional photographers who teach both technical and conceptual lessons for how and when to capture the perfect shot. Perhaps the most valuable life lessons come from helping others. On our community service programs, students are able to make an impact on a variety of projects in different countries. High school students give back to our host communities, fostering a sense of global interconnectedness and responsibility. Travel For Teens offers summer programs to fit a variety of needs and interests. Programs are available to middle school and high school students finishing grades 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, and 12 during the months of June, July, and August. Programs last between 10 and 22 days, and all of  them are designed to be connected, so you can easily choose to participate in back-to-back trips! *Safety is our number one priority at Travel For Teens. We employ highly trained and rigorously vetted counselors and trip leaders, carefully inspect all new locations’ hotels and excursions, and remain up to date on any changing political situations that may affect safety standards. That’s just the beginning! This website uses cookies to ensure you get the best experience on our website.
