Academic Treks offers college-accredited summer adventures abroad for teenagers. Backed by over a dozen years of experience in running educational programs for thousands of teenagers, Academic Treks combines the finest elements of experiential learning, traditional classroom learning and service learning with wilderness adventure, international travel and cultural exchange to create extraordinary expeditions.
On each dynamic journey, students explore unique environments and cultures while studying marine science, Spanish language or cultural studies. Each course includes community service that complements the program focus, and several include a significant emphasis (up to 55 hours) of service work. Academic Treks students are fully immersed in an educational experience in a real world setting, gaining a global perspective and hands-on understanding of the topics studied. They also get a head start on college by earning academic and/or community service credit and by building a host of skills they will use both in school and beyond.
Interwoven in the Academic Treks experience is teamwork, leadership and personal growth. Together with your team of adventurers, you will take on challenges, master new skills, build confidence and gain insights into yourself, the world around you and your role as a global citizen. You will leave with a sense of achievement, an awareness of your own potential and an acceptance of different ideas, beliefs and cultures.
Join us this summer for an unforgettable adventure. Bring a thirst to learn and have fun, and a desire to open your heart and mind to new people, places and experiences. See the world in a different light, achieve things you never thought possible, make lasting friendships, and learn by doing and experiencing with incredible environments as your classrooms.
Emily had the experience of a lifetime. It was well rounded with a wonderful combination of experiential learning, environment, classroom and culture. What I like best is the opportunity for such a unique experience combined with college credit. — Rhoda Bernstein,
