Westcoast Connection Active Teen Tours

Alice enjoyed your trip and would like to thank you very much for all you have done for her. She had a wonderful time and we greatly appreciated all the dedication of your staff. Thank you again to everybody and with a very special mention of thanks to Laura and Dan.

Evan had a wonderful time. He traveled with a nice group of kids. The counselors were responsible but fun and aided the group in bonding into a cohesive unit with fun games and experiences. The itinerary was well thought out and both entertaining and informative. Westcoast was very professional and readily available to answer questions and assist in getting a few items to Evan during the trip. The pictures and trip updates were fun for us to see during the summer to keep abreast of the activities. Evan seems to have made lasting friendships with both counselors and group members - they have already been in touch about reuniting! Thank you for helping to make such a wonderful summer!

Daniel thoroughly enjoyed the entire experience. We are totally impressed with the whole Westcoast package as you are very responsible, reliable and knowledgeable in handling large groups of teens - which at times must be a daunting task!!! The places they visited and the amount of things they saw and did was incredible. Daniel will have wonderful memories and we are sure this trip gave him confidence and maturity!! Thanks for giving Daniel the best summer!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you for such a wonderful experience for Lily. We truly appreciate how patient and caring your staff team was. She has come home with wonderful stories and pictures. The responsiveness of your team made us feel completely confident that she would have a terrific experience.

Our family cannot say enough about what a fabulous program you have for our two children who have experienced it. The friendships that Madison and before her Lindsay made have been wonderful. The counselors are fun, professional and experienced. The communication that was sent home weekly was informative and reflective of the energy and spirit of the trip. We cannot thank you enough!!

Kelsey's trip was well planned and age appropriate. We have traveled extensively as a family but this was much more than traveling or history. It was such an important time in a teen's life and we think it was a life altering experience to broaden their thinking and building self confidence. We are so thankful for the level of professionalism.

Molly is our second to go on a Westcoast Connection trip and you did not disappoint at all! She had the most amazing time and we felt relaxed and secure knowing that they were being supervised so carefully. The aspect of the trip that Molly loved most was that the staff treated all of the teens with respect and humor; there was mutual respect between the leaders and the group. It was a wonderful dynamic and it really added to her summer. We have one more daughter coming up and when she is done with camp, we plan to send her as well ... three times a charm! - Claudia & Sam Fenner, Dix Hills, NY

Thank you for giving Ben the most amazing three weeks. This was his first experience traveling alone and not knowing anyone on the trip. He basically said it only took a few minutes before he started to bond and connect with the other trip members. He made so many new friends and enjoyed the traveling. You guys do a fabulous job - thanks!

Josh had a fantastic time. We were thoroughly impressed with the amount of supervision and organization that we witnessed during the entire trip. It was so well executed from start to finish and it was a pleasure for us to send Josh. We felt very confident that he was well taken care of. We would most certainly refer any of his friends to join on a future trip. Josh and our younger son Matt will most likely be on another trip together next summer. Thanks for a wonderful experience!! - Suzanne & Marc Sussman, Simsbury, CT

Elliot had such a good time he did not want the program to end. He was very complimentary of Teddy and Ronen stating that they had just the right mix of leadership, professionalism, friendship and fun. He also commented on how much he liked his ski instructor, stating that his skiing has improved greatly.

The daytime and nighttime activities in Australia were amazing, fun, and unique. Our leaders were passionate about the success of our trip, kind, knowledgeable and hilarious.

I was worried coming alone, halfway around the world to Australia. I loved the Wallaby Lodge and have truly had an unbelievable experience. - Lauren Weiner, Old Westbury, New York

This trip was great! I loved every second of it! I made so many friends and I learned so much about Australia and its culture!

Andy had a wonderful time in Europe and enjoyed the staff and all the new friends he met. There is nothing more I could have asked for or expected. Communication before the trip was exceptional and during the trip was fabulous. Dawn was an unbelievable Director!!!!!! The staff was FANTASTIC and made ALL the kids feel like they were an important part of the group. It was everything and more I could have wanted for my son.

Westcoast Connection gave me a new understanding and love for other cultures and societies while making lifelong friends in the process!

I loved the trip and I am so glad I went on it. I met so many amazing friends that I will keep in touch with. I can guarantee that you will have an amazing time on this trip and meet the most amazing people!

Jenna had a fabulous summer. She absolutely loved her group and was very excited about all the wonderful things they got to see and do. Thank you for providing a wonderful experience that she will always treasure.

Alec had a blast and he thought all of the staff was great and his director Jared was fantastic. There was a lot more 'group spirit' than he or we were expecting; the kids were great and everyone got along. There was wonderful communication during the trip via emails and photos. I'm so glad we signed him up!

Westcoast Connection provided a safe environment for our daughter and made sure the kids had the time of their lives! Great activities, great bonding experiences, great fun and great staff.

This program has been great! I have made new friends, seen new locations, and it was well organized and fun. My director Alyssa handled things well and always wanted our feedback. I am so glad I went on this program.

Jonathan had an excellent time. He raved about all the activities and even commented on how smoothly everything ran. He also loved all the trip leaders.

Dani had an incredible experience. Everything was highly organized and well run! Her younger brother will definitely be going on the same trip in a few years!

Thank you so much for everything you did to make Mason's trip so wonderful. We are very happy to have him home but at the same time, know he misses all of the new friends he made and the busy days. We loved reading all of your emails and felt very comfortable that he was always in good hands. We truly appreciate your help!

The support and arrangements by your office was exceptional. They were polite, cooperative, patient, extremely helpful, completely reassuring and extremely professional. Everything they promised me actually happened exactly as they said it would. Greg loved all the activities and would do another Westcoast Connection trip tomorrow!

The leaders were amazingly kind, funny and mature people. The staff and sites were amazing and surpassed my high expectations, I loved them all!

Brent thought that last year's trip with you to California was great; however in the 2 or 3 times we spoke to him this summer he has said that this trip is 'so amazing'. We finally had to cut him off because he was just going on and on about all the things they had been doing and how it was so incredible. He has mentioned virtually every time he has called how great the trip leaders have been. The pictures on the website are great and clearly show what a great time the kids are having. Our only real complaint is that Westcoast doesn't offer an adult version of this trip! Kudos to the entire team for offering such a great experience for the kids. Your entire team should be commended for putting together this amazing adventure for the kids. Our only problem will likely be which Westcoast adventure to send Brent on next year. Thanks for doing such an amazing job.

Thank you for an incredible summer. This trip was something I will never forget, everything was great, the staff, the other campers, the activities, the food, the sights, everything. This trip was completely over my expectations, I made new friends and I learned new things, but the best thing is I had a lot of fun. Once more, thank you.

Shane had nothing but great things to say about his trip. He loved it! Thanks, your company delivered a quality experience for our son.

Tour leader Jason was great, the staff were exceptional, and the group could not have been better had you hand picked each and every one of them. The sights that we experienced in Europe were breathtaking. I will recommend Westcoast Connection to any and all friends and relatives. Thank you for all your help over the last couple of months. I am off to college in one week and am now ready for that step in my life.

Arthur came back very happy and very excited about his trip to Canada, the different activities (ski, rafting, camping….) and the life with the other participants. He even speaks English with us! We wanted to thank you for the very good organization (airport, emails, pictures…..). It was a complete successful experience that we really recommend.

The trip was excellent and the counselors were cool & very supportive. They took good care of us.

Being able to go to Alaska, learn about a new culture, make amazing friends, and help the less fortunate while having fun was everything I could have hope for my summer, this was definitely the best summer of my life!!!!

All activities were fantastic. Lovely trip, full of excitement, lots of things to see & do. I love WCC!

I talked to Christina two days ago, and I asked if she is ready to come home. Her reply was that she would miss all her new friends. Thank you again for leading the group.

Katie had an exceptional time and has not stopped talking! We would like to thank you so much for your professionalism, care and for giving Katie such a wonderful experience. We are very grateful. Many, many thanks.

Westcoast = time of my life! I will never forget this summer on Westcoast. The sights were incredible, the staff was great, the friendships were amazing, and the experiences were unforgettable. I will cherish every moment.

We appreciated your introduction letter. You certainly have done your homework! Your entire organization is highly developed & thorough. You have thought of everything to prepare campers and parents. Your emphasis on group dynamics & mixing the kids up to get to know each other is an excellent idea! Halley had an absolutely wonderful, joyful, esteem building & safe time. Thank you so very much! Again, this was a summer of a lifetime. I hope she chooses another trip with WCC next summer!

Our tour director was amazing. The whole WCC staff was great! I had the time of my life on Westcoast Connection. The relationships I made surpassed any relationship made at home. The staff was spectacular and at the airport I noticed tears in their eyes, because they weren't thought of as staff, but friends. I had the best summer ever on Westcoast Connection.

I made so many new friends that I will definitely keep in touch with! This trip was amazing! The staff are all nice and FUN!
