Alaska was amazing, our service partners incredible, and leaders the best! This was by far the best summer of my life.

ALAMEDA

Monte really enjoyed the program and his Spanish improved. He loved Machu Picchu and the Amazon Jungle. He had a great time and made a lot of new friends. In fact, I took him to NYC a few weeks ago and 6 of his fellow travelers in the surrounding area met up and spent the afternoon together. I’d be happy to recommend it to anyone. I’m just sorry I didn’t discover you when he was younger.

LOS ANGELES

What a phenomenal experience Joe had on Spain Language.  He in fact admitted, “this trip has changed me for the better” (which is quite an admission from a 15 year old!)  It was really a lovely group of kids. I think it was good for Joe to meet kids from elsewhere in the country. The trip leaders did a great job making sure everyone met and interacted, so that even though Joe didn’t know anyone going into the trip, he made great friends while he was there.Thank you again.

Randi Sunshine & Dan Sherkow

Scott had a great time on the trip.
Greg Lawrence

Will had a fantastic European trip which was enhanced by the great leadership and companionship of your counselors. He loved the well balanced schedule of sightseeing in major cities and then the quieter visits to small towns and beach resorts. Your inclusion of snowboarding, swimming, hiking, etc gave another dimension that young people really appreciate. We can’t thank the office staff and counselors enough for all their hard work that makes a trip like this so rewarding. Will’s e-mails reflected his excitement. Both of our sons got so much out of their European Experience. We’re sure you have inspired Will to take more languages and to travel whenever possible. Thank you all so much.

WOODLAND HILLS

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.

The Tour Director Ari was fantastic and accommodated our California schedule. It was a great experience for David—it will last him a lifetime.
