Who Travels

Traveling with 5280 Explorers is an earned privilege. We ask teachers to nominate those students that have the right character - that means responsible, hard working, cheerful and honest young people who can listen to instructions. It means integrity. Grades are important only as a reflection of those traits.
Our teachers nominate in classes 6th grade through high school; by the time we travel, we have a range of kids from 12 to 18.
Parents sometimes join our groups, and they are welcome! However, our Tour company, EF, designs these trips with students in mind; It won't be The Ritz Hotel, and it's a very busy itinerary!
