Remarkable benefits for educational travel by teens and tweens
Max Muszynski was 13 when he attended a 2 week tripping camp.
"When I came back from my first long trip, my parents told me I had really changed. Before I went on the trip, I was a slacker in school; I wouldn't do the work I didn't feel like doing. I wasn't failing but I was doing pretty bad."
After his two week canoe-tripping program, Max changed.
"During my trip, it was the first time I had actually been challenged and had to apply myself, or at least that's what I thought. Now, I take on challenges with an open mind and never give up!"
Max or his parents could never had imagined the life changing experience one teen travel trip could have on their son. What experiences will you provide your teenager?
