“Integrating a school’s curriculum and world view with comprehensive travel programs designed to enhance and apply the classroom learning experience.”

We all know that learning is enhanced by adding as many senses as possible to the learning experience. By seeing, touching, smelling, hearing and tasting, learning can make a lasting impression. I remember my high school senior class trip to Washington, D.C. I had read and heard about Washington for years, but I EXPERIENCED Washington on that senior trip! I could fully appreciate the Capitol Building after standing in the Rotunda and sitting in the Supreme Court Chambers. I could better understand the White House after walking its hallowed halls and hearing “Hail to the Chief”.

I realized the gravity of our government after exploring the National Archives, the U.S. Treasury, the Library of Congress and the museums of the Smithsonian Institute. I certainly understood the sacrifice of many for my freedom after seeing the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Vietnam and Marine Memorials. Personal experience can be one of the strongest catalysts for learning.

TREK Travel Programs is designed to help schools provide an opportunity for students to deepen their understanding of what is taught in the classroom. This program will help students to realize that what their teacher is doing in the classroom goes far beyond notes, quizzes and tests.

Customized trips (or, TREKs) can aid in extending the learning process and promote appreciation for instructors as well as curriculum. By involving all the senses, learning is enhanced. TREK Travel Programs can provide a comprehensive plan of travel experiences that builds from elementary through secondary education.

The program can be customized to broaden any grade level activity to maximize the learning experience. Our mission is to assist schools in equipping our young people for reality.

Let us develop a TREK Travel Program for your students offering hassle free, quality experiences that reflect the integrity and commitment of your school.
