Planning For Summer 2024: The Road Less Traveled Ensures Safe Adventures for Teens

As summer beckons and the family planning conversation are starting, parents may find themselves torn between the desire to encourage their teens' adventurous spirits and the need for reassurance about their safety. 

At The Road Less Traveled, we understand these concerns and prioritize the safety and well-being of your teens above all else. Let us put your mind at ease as we share why teen travel with us is not only an exciting adventure, but a safe and transformative experience.

Experienced and Trained Staff:

At the heart of The Road Less Traveled is our team of dedicated and highly trained professionals who are passionate about providing a safe and nurturing environment for your teens. Our experienced trip leaders and office support team undergo rigorous training to ensure they are equipped to handle any situation that may arise during the journey. From first aid training to emergency protocols, our staff is well-prepared to manage risk and prioritize group safety with composure and expertise.

Comprehensive Safety Protocols:

Your teen's safety is our top priority, and we leave no stone unturned in implementing comprehensive safety protocols. We meticulously plan every aspect of our trips, from transportation and accommodation to daily activities and excursions. We work closely with local partners and authorities to stay updated on the latest safety guidelines and regulations, ensuring that our trips adhere to the highest standards of safety and security. 

“Our 33 years experience running student travel programs provides us with tried and tested protocols and experiences to draw upon.”

Small Group Dynamics:

To foster a supportive and close-knit community, we maintain small group sizes on all our trips. This allows for personalized attention, care, meaningful connections, and effective supervision. Our small group sizes enable our staff to get to know each teen individually, ensuring that their unique needs and personalities are understood and catered to throughout the journey.

Global Preparedness:

In an ever-changing world, preparedness is key. The Road Less Traveled stays ahead of the curve by continuously monitoring global events and adapting our itineraries to prioritize the safety of our participants. We maintain open lines of communication with parents, keeping them informed about any changes to the itinerary or potential adjustments to ensure a transparent and collaborative approach.

Emphasis on Personal Growth and Development:

Beyond safety, our programs are designed to instill a sense of responsibility, leadership, and global citizenship in your teens. Through community service projects and immersive cultural experiences, we aim to broaden their perspectives and foster personal growth. Our goal is to empower teens with the skills and mindset they need to navigate the world confidently and safely, both during their travels and in their everyday lives.

As we set forth on The Road Less Traveled this summer, rest assured that your teen is in capable hands. We are committed to providing an unforgettable, safe, and transformative experience that will leave a lasting impact on their lives. 

If you still have questions about safety, questions about if this summer is right for your teen to join us, or any other topics, please schedule a call with a director for a one-on-one informal chat.
