Covid-19 Statement
Updated Nov 25, 2020
We are committed to the health and wellbeing of our program participants, our staff and the communities in which our programs take place. We are closely following the recommended safety guidelines of a number of respected health partners including the CDC, the American Camping Association and all government guidelines in the countries where our programs operate. We do anticipate the progressive lifting of international travel restrictions as we move closer to a vaccine and the introduction of pre-flight rapid Covid testing. We encourage you to apply for our 2021 programs and there is no deposits or tuition due at this time. We will hold your space until we have more information about international travel and are assured that our programs can be safely operated this summer.
