FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to all the most common questions about Westcoast Connection.

Are program participants separated by age groups?

It depends on the program, so it’s always best to contact us. We assign a specific departure date by age group to create the best possible social dynamics on some programs. For example, if grades 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 are listed on a program, note they will not all be traveling together on the same departure.

To find the programs with exclusive age-specific departures, look for tags saying “middle school” for students completing 7th and 8th grades.

Do Westcoast Connection staff have qualifications?

Our staff are educators, guidance counselors, coaches, college and university students, former camp counselors, residence life coordinators, community volunteers, world travelers, and other leaders with diverse backgrounds. Many are former participants themselves who couldn’t get enough of the Westcoast experience! Learn more about our summer leaders.

What is an Active Teen Tour?

Our Active Teen Tours offer larger group sizes (generally 35-48 participants) and travel in deluxe motor coaches. Accommodations include quality hotels and fun college residences.

What are Global Adventures?

Global Adventures are smaller group experiences (generally up to 26 participants). Groups travel by private motor coaches and occasional public transportation internationally and use passenger vans in the USA. Accommodations are in quality hotels and lodges.
