MICHIGAN BIRMINGHAM
Great trip! I had tons of fun! Jon was a great director! Westcoast was an experience I'll never forget. It allowed me to be open, confident, have fun and make amazing friends from all over the world! Thanks Westcoast! Julia Hollander
I had an amazing time, so glad I came. I didn't expect to make such amazing friends & push myself to do the things I did. It was amazing. Alana Balbes Our son Jason had the best time. I had an amazing summer that I will never forget. I loved doing all the activities and was glad that there were so many different ones. Rock-climbing was the best. Climbing on a glacier and skiing in the middle of July was awesome. Thank you! Marissa’s Tour Director was concerned, caring & responsible. WCC is awesome! California & the Canyons had by far the best staff ever! Thank you and your staff for all that you have done for Danny. His phone calls were fabulous; we knew he was loving the trip, the sights, and the new friends he was making. When we picked Danny up from the airport, he could not stop talking about the trip, and his friends, his counselors—all the way home-we had to get his pictures developed immediately. He told us “This was the best three weeks of his life!” When we got home I walked past his room, he was already on the phone planning a reunion before school. Last night he made reservations to go to Washington D.C. where the boys from Minneapolis, Pittsburgh, and hopefully the girls from Canada will all meet next week. Thank you for a life changing experience for Dan…and my family. BLOOMFIELD HILLS
Working at the Humanitarian Foundation was the best service project because I really connected with the kids. This trip has made me learn about myself and has opened my eyes a little wider to see the world around me. It was a good balance of service and fulfilling, thrilling adventure. The staff were amazing, the friends unforgettable and it was an experience of a lifetime! The staff was great and very friendly! My director Amanda was very fun and organized. Westcoast Connection was an incredible summer. I had a great time and I thought the trip was fantastic! I made great friends and I'm going home with a smile on my face. The staff was fantastic and I felt so close to my counselors. This was my second summer with Westcoast Connection and once again I had the summer of my life. The staff was awesome, destinations were breathtaking and the other kids were great! American voyageur was the best summer ever! I'd definitely recommend doing it.
Jamie had the summer of a lifetime. She came back ready to sign up for another trip in 2009! Marianne & David Sacks
It was the summer of a lifetime, I loved it. I had a great staff, I made a ton of new friends, it was an unforgettable summer. Nicole Hollander
The 360 service program was great. My favorite project was Read to Me. I really got to interact with children. I feel like I have helped make an impact on others' lives and have made a difference! Thanks for an unbelievable summer! Emily Kahn
This trip offered the perfect balance of community service, adventure, work and fun. We got to do so many great activities and really see Hawaii. This was one of the best summers of my life. I met best friends that I know I will stay in touch with forever. Jessica Schultz
It was the first time I had ever gone on any teen tour, so I didn't know what to expect. But I honestly have to say that it was one of the best summers of my life so far. The friends I made and staff were amazing. I hope to go on another one next summer Jeremy Sherman The program was amazing and I am so happy that I chose WCC. This has been the best summer of my life and I am so sad that it has come to an end. Alana Tabak We were very impressed with everyone we dealt with.

It is very well run with no stone unturned!! As parents, we feel very comfortable and safe sending Stefanie with your organization. Thank you Mitch for always answering my questions and providing a great summer for my daughter. FRANKLIN My favorite part of the Community Service Belize program was our work in La Democracia. Our interaction with the community touched me in a way that will affect me for the rest of my life. Thank you WCC for a third great summer. Our daughter had an excellent experience this summer. She made many new friends that she will remember for years to come. I would recommend Westcoast Connection to anyone who asked. The trip was well balanced with recreation, touring and culture.

I’ve grown so much since the beginning of the summer. It felt so good to be a part of such a dedicated program and group of people. I learned that the smallest gesture can mean the world to so many people. ORCHARD LAKE We loved WCC. Our daughter truly enjoyed herself, and met wonderful friends. Jaynee loved Dersch; he was great. Westcoast Connection was easily accessible and answered all questions. Dersch is simply the best and I couldn’t say good enough things about him. Our trip was a true success and everyone can agree with me that they had an incredible summer! Thanks for everything. Coming to Europe was such a great experience and I’m thrilled to have picked Westcoast. Jenna had an awesome experience! We were impressed that Mitch and Tour Director Leah called to get information on Jenna before leaving. Great experience for Jaimee. She’s been on two trips and wants to go to Hawaii next year. I had a great summer!! This was the most amazing summer of my life. I had a great summer. I would recommend this trip to any of my friends without a doubt.
PLEASANT RIDGE It was a very eye-opening experience. I got to see what a real village is like in South Africa. Thanks for an incredible summer. Benjamin Granzotto WEST BLOOMFIELD
Participating on this program made me more grateful. At La Carpio, we worked directly with people less fortunate and it gave us an understanding about their lifestyles. We thought your program went far beyond our expectations. Communication was great and any questions were dealt with immediately. Alexis said it was the best summer ever. She made wonderful friendships and met great kids that she wants to see again. Thank you for providing an amazing summer of memories and giving back through community service. This was my third trip with Westcoast/360 and it keeps getting better. My Spanish improved a lot and the Costa Rica trip was awesome. Once again Andy had a wonderful experience with Westcoast Connection and can't wait to take another trip with you. This was a great trip and I learned a lot. The community service was a great experience and I became a more outgoing person. It was a fantastic experience and I would recommend it to anyone! Everything was great and my director Ken was awesome! Ken and the staff made this the absolute best summer of Carly's life. She had such a great time and didn't want to come home. Ken made a tremendous effort to make the group very cohesive and a family. He was extremely fun and entertaining for the kids to be around. It was an amazing experience and she came home with a lot of entertaining stories as well as many new friends. Danny had a wonderful time. He has had nothing but wonderful things to say, made lots of new friends and would recommend the trip to anyone. Thanks to the great staff and the active itinerary. His eyes were opened to a whole new world. He especially enjoyed snowboarding, zorbing and whitewater rafting. We never once felt that he was not in a safe, well-planned, well-supervised environment. We have passed on the word to friends and family....and our 12 year old is looking forward to his chance to take the trip soon! This trip was amazing and I enjoyed every minute of it! I made so many new friends and saw so many incredible places. I loved it and I had a blast! It was a wonderful experience for Hailey. Not only did she see and do things she would have never had the opportunity to see or do, but she did it with a group of teens that she really bonded with, which made the experience that much better. Every time I travel with Westcoast Connection it keeps on getting better and better! I was nervous going on this trip alone but everyone became like a big family within a few days. All of the sights were amazing. This trip exceeded all of my expectations! My director Amanda was great and made the trip so much better than I expected. I've made life long friends on this trip and the counselors were amazing! This was the best summer of my life by far! I was excited to go on this trip and I knew I was in for an amazing summer but it turned out to be even more fun than I even expected! I've never had such a great summer! Thanks Westcoast for providing me with this opportunity. The trip was perfect and my director Ken did a great job! I had the best summer ever! All we can say is that Max has not stopped talking about the people and the counselors and the food. ”Send me back,” he said. “I wish it was longer!” That should tell you everything you need to know!! This trip was by far one of the best things I've ever done in my life! I realized that I can make a difference just by doing things that may seem trivial. I have been on a few Westcoast Connection/360 trips before and I have never done anything like this. I enjoyed every minute of the trip, from start to finish.
The trip was amazing. I loved spending time with all of my new friends and the locations we visited. I'll never forget it. Thank you! Leah LaDuke
We came here as strangers from all over the country and left as one big family. Lindsay Rosenbaum
Amanda had the summer of her life! Thank you for providing such a nurturing, exciting and memorable experience. She arrived home a more mature, notably appreciative, exceedingly happy young lady. Victoria & Jon Sloan
This was our family's third great trip with Westcoast. Our daughter Anna had a fantastic time. She loved every minute of it. Linda & Alan Spigelman
Whitney did a great job! I was glad to be on a trip with her. The staff was tons of fun to be around. Thanks for a great summer WCC! Max Surnow I made a lot of friends on my trip and it was an amazing experience. If I hadn't taken this trip I would not have experienced so many things. Adam Rubenfire The trip was an experience never to be forgotten. My friends will always remain and the sights were unforgettable. I had an amazing time, and everyone who goes on a Westcoast trip is guaranteed an amazing time. Demi Ambrose The trip was amazing. I enjoyed everywhere we went and I loved meeting new people and making new friends. Joshua Nass Westcoast was a changing experience for me. I learned to accept people for who they were and not stick to first impressions. I had a blast and the sites and activities were incredible, but what I'll miss the most is this group of people. I'll never forget the memories we shared and the friendships we made. Dana Narens This was such a fun trip and I made so many great new friends that I know I will stay in touch with. I am already talking about doing a Europe trip next year. Chad Kalisky Westcoast Connection helped me meet people from all over the country! I'm definitely going on another trip! Danielle Studenberg Ryan’s trip was our third time with you and a fabulous summer as usual. Thank you soooooo much. Ryan had the best summer experience ever. Gail & Howard Victor Danny had a wonderful time on the trip. He thought his Director Sasha was great - very fun but also very responsible. It made us feel good to know he felt he was in good and capable hands. Thanks for a wonderful experience. Karen & Steve Weiss Abby’s trip was the trip of a lifetime. The Director Alli and all the staff were amazing, a fabulous group of kids too. She gained an appreciation for architecture and a true sense of a different culture in Spain. Thanks so much. Ellen & Marshal Hyman Karly says she had 'the best summer of her life'. Alicia & Michael Stillman We are very impressed with your entire organization. The photos have been great. Communicating with your office has been a pleasure. The staff on the trip is terrific and very professional. Swami was very helpful in arranging our surprise. He is a terrific group leader and nice person. It was also nice to meet Ira and learn how involved and hands on you guys are. Andrew is having a great time. The trip is doing exactly what we hoped it would - letting Andrew meet new kids, make new friends from around the country, grow and mature and see a great part of the country. Thanks again. Hope you have a great and successful summer. Amy was so happy. This summer ended up being such a highlight. She loved everything about her time spent on Westcoast. Her attitude was positive with regards to meeting new people and doing new activities. When she called us from the trip she was always telling funny stories about the places she had been and how great a time she was having. Now both Amy and her brother love talking about the places they went on their Californian Extravaganza Westcoast Connection trips. Everything was great! This was the best summer of my life! We have had 2 different Westcoast trips with 2 of our children. We realize this was an unbelievable experience for both of them. These are unforgettable lifelong memories! Thank you for giving our children this wonderful experience! Thanks for giving Carly the trip of a lifetime. She is really having a great time. Noah loved the surfing program and rock climbing at Yosemite.
