Life-Changing Reasons to Travel with Green Edventures
Our participants travel with a purpose.
Green Edventures' programs are summer camp evolved.
Participants who are accepted on each adventure know
they are here to learn, explore, and make a difference
in that place. Green Edventures supports community-based
eco-tourism whenever possible and always hires local
guides. The money from your tuition directly supports
indigenous people and contributes to local conservation.
 Our
trips help build foundations which allow students to
thrive in a global society.
Travel breaks down barriers, makes us more tolerant of others,
increases our decision making skills, and makes us better
able to cope with change.
Hands on education and direct observation makes a lasting impression.
Hearing about global warming is one thing, seeing Al
Gore on TV is another. Standing at the terminal end
of a calving glacier is a powerful experience and brings
new meaning to the concepts buzzing around the media
such as glacial retreat and global warming.
Motivation for the unmotivated student.
After a field experience students are more likely to
work harder and improve their academic performance.
Through travel, students see that the world is bigger
than their own backyard and people are different from
their home town. They literally see a whole new world
of possibilities.
