This summer has been the best summer ever! I loved the staff, the other trip members and all the activities! Jared was the best trip director ever! Thank you all so much for the best 6 weeks of my life!
Erika Banoun

Participating in this program has made me a better person and I now realize how doing so little can make such a huge change. My favorite service project was visiting the Costa Rica Humanitarian Foundation because I could tell that I truly made a difference in the peoples' lives. It was a very well balanced trip because we worked hard but were also able to experience all of Costa Rica.
Teddi Wolfer

ANNANDALE

The projects working with kids were the most fun for me. I feel like a better person and got to see how lucky I am by seeing how people in Costa Rica live. The service, adventure, and touring were perfectly balanced. The 3 leaders couldn't get better. A great experience and just so much fun!
Ryan Marrus

Ryan had a wonderful experience! We felt very comfortable entrusting our son to you for his first solo trip.

Elliot had such a good time he did not want the program to end. He was very complimentary of Teddy and Ronen stating that they had just the right mix of leadership, professionalism, friendship and fun. He also commented on how much he liked his ski instructor, stating that his skiing has improved greatly.

BELLE MEAD

I really liked building the palm front roof in San Miguel because we found all the materials ourselves, and did everything from scratch and then got to see out work pay off when it rained and our structure kept us dry. I know that when I get home I will no longer take any small pleasures for granted because of the Community Service Belize program. Without a doubt, the service and adventure I participated and made a positive impact on the lives of the local cultures and left me with a summer filled with memories I will never forget. My favorite part of the program was when we completed the playground. After it was done we saw all the kids playing on it, and I felt as though my work had made the community better. I was very impressed with the group of teens that participated in this summer’s trip. They were all highly motivated.

Sam Weisman

We just wanted to email you and tell you about our weekend. We had a reunion at our house. 12 kids from Michigan, Maryland, Toronto, Florida, NJ and NY - it was truly amazing. The kids were so happy to be together, so well behaved and couldn't bear the thought of being apart. We have you to thank for it. Katie had the summer of her life, she pushed herself outside of her comfort zone and there she found the greatest group of friends, life long friends. Each mom that I spoke with as we planned our weekend had the same things to say about the summer, the best!!! Thanks again.

I've never gotten so close to anybody in only 3 weeks! I have become more appreciative and I want to continue to help. My favorite service projects were the bunk beds but even more the kids camp. I was able to communicate and learn from the kids and help them grow. I felt a connection with them.
Rachel Kupelian

My director Jasmine had such a high energy level! Working with the kids at the Sihlekisi School in Africa was great because we made it look better and had a chance to connect with the children.
Dana Diamond

Habitat for Humanity was my favorite service because I enjoyed seeing how my labor actually affected someone's life. It was very rewarding. I am now more aware of different people's circumstances and how important volunteering is. I feel this trip helped me to become more compassionate, empathetic and a better listener.
Nicole Fromer

This summer has bee one of the most incredible experiences of my life. Every day was a new adventure. I have done things that I never thought I would ever do.

I never could have imagined a better summer with such an amazing schedule. The trip leaders rocked and the restaurants were the best. I couldn't have picked a better staff. I gained a great deal of maturity and unforgettable memories.
Jared Greenspan

The trip far surpassed any expectations that we all had. We knew from meeting Adam and Simon at the airport, that they were competent and adventurous leaders. Jared has told us that all of the staff members were a blast to be with and always had complete control. He held them in very high regard. The activities that were planned were well structured to include a variety of teens' interests, from athletic to adventurous. Jared has told us how the camaraderie of the group was bolstered by interesting team building activities. He developed very close friends and already they have made plans to visit each other next week. In addition to experiencing amazing sites, Jared acquired a sense of independence that cannot be taught by a parent. He is truly a changed person who is already planning his Westcoast trip for summer '09! Thank you all for providing a stimulating and nurturing experience that we will all remember for many years to come!
Nadine & David Greenspan

Brad had a great time! That he enjoyed the sites goes without saying, but the kids and the counselors made an interesting trip into an amazing experience!

FRANKLIN LAKES

Getting autographs and going to Fenway to see my favorite team was so much fun. All of the trip leaders were so nice and so much fun to hang out with.
Robert Bailey

Amazing people and incredible leaders! My experience in Africa far surpassed beyond any expectations I had. My Westcoast Connection / 360° Student Travel group quickly became not only my life long friends, but my family. The Acornhoek Project was single handedly the most life changing experience I've ever had. Surrounded by smiling children I was easily motivated to work harder and although there was a language barrier, the kids were more than content holding our hands because at the end of the day despite cultural differences we all speak the same language.
Emily Walsh

This trip and the people on the trip have changed me. It was an amazing experience. Doing Service in Africa was life changing and gave me a glance into how other people around the world live. The trip changed the way I think and the way I act in more ways than one. It was an amazing experience.
Holly Mclean

I loved everything about the trip! I made great friends and learned a lot about myself through helping others. I really learned who I am this summer. I always wanted to be a doctor but had my doubts. Being at the Ronald McDonald House and going to the hospital helped me make my decision to pursue this profession. The Ronald McDonald House was by far my favorite service project. I love the organization and I had the opportunity to learn more about it. I love that we got to do service through labor but at the same time, we talked to the families and learned their stories.
Alessandra Weidman

Participating in this program has given me more awareness of the world around me. The staff on my trip was the best I could have asked for.

Jim was outstanding, as well as Mandy and the other staff members. The trip was very well organized and well rounded and a truly wonderful experience for her. Alexis can’t stop talking about her trip to Europe either. She had “the best time ever”, and she had the greatest counselors, Adam, Mo, Anna, and Rachel.

We are beyond thrilled with Westcoast Connection from our initial "phone meetings" through the trip and after. Now that all the kids are home and we have had a chance to compare notes with other families, Westcoast Connection is still far superior! From communication, supervision, programs and staff involvement with the kids, Westcoast Connection is outstanding!

He thought Rob was a fantastic trip director and said he had a great sense of humor and was an "all around great guy"! Thanks again for providing my son with a summer he will never forget!

Lisa & Jim Coleman

Jeremy the Director was an extraordinary role model and we all loved and respected him. This was my second WCC trip and though I was positive it wouldn’t, it topped last years trip in everyway. I didn’t make friends, I made family! Seeing beautiful places and taking part in challenging adventures is even more rewarding when 35 of your favorite people are by your side. Thank you for the best 25 days of my life. WCC is an amazing company, and I promise to let anyone I know interested in a Teen Tour about my magical summer on Westcoast Connection.
Melissa Cotignola

Westcoast Connection is an outstanding organization. This is the second WCC teen tour Melissa has gone on. Each time she had an experience of a lifetime. Seeing new and wonderful places, meeting great kids from all over the country, and building friendships that grow closer and become like family. Melissa’s friends from these trips stay in close contact. They are all missing each other terribly. What a wonderful experience you gave these kids. They get together and unite as groups in different homes and cities. They are always on the phone, talking with each other on the computers constantly reliving the memories of their great experiences together. The tour director and coordinator are phenomenal. They are always there when you need them- they respond promptly to calls and emails. They really take pride in their jobs and in the organization and it shows! I cannot say enough about Westcoast Connection and the incredible life experiences that have given my daughter. If I can ever be of help to any of you, to talk to new participants or parents, I would welcome the opportunity. Your organization is incredible. Thank you and all the directors and counselors for an outstanding job!!!

This trip has changed me by making me realize that all I need to do is put little time and effort and I can change someone’s life forever.

Erica Lieb

Thank you again for this past summer. As you know, I was very nervous about going on this trip and meeting all new people, but in the end it has been the best experience of my life. I met so many amazing people that I continue to talk to almost everyday. The connection we had with the children during our service with the Boys & Girls Club really meant a lot and taught me to appreciate everything I have in my life.

This is our 4th trip on Westcoast Connection and I have to thank you again for providing a safe and fun environment for the kids. Matthew had a wonderful time.

Eli Edelman

We hoped Eli would improve his Spanish, gain a greater apreciation for how fortunate he is, experience new things, and just have a fun adventure. High hopes. Well, this experience far exceeded all our hopes. He LOVED everything. The community service really opened his eyes to how others live, how similar people are across the socio-economic spectrum, and to how it feels to do something for someone who hasn't had the opportunities that you have. He also surfed, rode horses, rappelled, rode a zip line, and danced salsa for the first time and loved all those experiences. He said that the classes were great and he learned a lot. He really embraced everything and we know he took so much back with him. We were so impressed with how everything was run. We loved that you sent an email about what they were doing, and even photos. And giving them journals was a great idea. He loved the leaders and the kids. We can't get over how much he did and saw and learned about in a month. He is all enthusiastic about everything and we know this trip will stay with him always as a highlight of his high school years. Thanks so much for an amazing summer. You guys are doing it right!!
Laura & Jay Edelman

Westcoast Connection/360º Student Travel has proven itself for the second year in a row. I met so many great people this summer and my Spanish has defintely improved.

I really enjoyed preparing and giving the presentation in the village of Zarcero. It was very touching to interview the 97-year-old lady that I had the privilege of speaking with. I could tell that she appreciated the presentation we put together. I am inspired to reach out and help my community more. My favorite community servcie project was the Hogar Ama Orphanage because the children were easy to communicate with and relate to. They were always smiling. They have inspired me to have the same attitude. I will share what they've taught me with my friends and family.

Justin had a great time and loved Alaska. Weeks later he is still talking about his experiences. He loved the mix of activities and the Community Service. We felt it was an enlightening, and worthwhile experience. He got to experience things that no one else in the family has done or ever will do. It was a true growth experience.

Alex Fiorito

This trip let me immerse myself in a new culture and at the same time allowed me to make a difference. My favorite service project was in La Carpio because I saw the difference I was making and was also able to visit with people and learn their stories. I learned more about myself and learned to appreciate what I have. The friends I made are incredible and the activities were unforgettable. I loved every minute and would recommend this trip to anyone.

I got far more out of the community service projects than I expected and really enjoyed them.

SURF CITY

For the past two summers I have traveled with your company around the USA and Europe. First I was on the California Extravaganza and this past summer I traveled on the European Escape. I had a fantastic time my first summer and I did not know what to expect for my European journey. The Europe trip far surpassed my expectations. I had the best time of my life. The staff was amazing and I made so many friends. I felt totally safe every place we went, and I learned so much about the sights we visited. Everyday brought excitement and endless fun. Symon, my leader, was excellent. Not only did he make sure that everyone had a great summer, but he also is a friend. He was sympathetic to our needs and always brought smiles to our faces. He really cared about our interested and about making sure that we were having an awesome time. The other counselors were equally great. They worked together wonderfully to show us the summer of our lives. They were also great role models for me to follow. I cannot thank them enough for everything that they have done. I had the time of my life this past summer. Everything was fantastic!

Helping out and affecting the lives of so many people in a place that I’ve never been to before, showed me that it doesn’t matter where you are, you can always make a difference. I got to experience Alaska to the fullest and have had a great summer. It’s such an amazing experience to not only be in Alaska and see the sights, but also help the community while meeting amazing people.

Nicole Byron

My favorite community service was Habitat for Humanity. I loved the experience of building a house and helping make a difference. Participating in the program taught me that making a difference isn't hard work, just by playing a game you make a kid smile and by hammering nails into a wall can make a huge difference. This trip was amazing and the people make the trip that much better!
Michelle Tucker

It was a great experience that has changed my life! I now value things I have a lot more and I want to make a difference in the lives of others.

WOODCLIFF LAKE

The work that we did and our reflections changed my outlook on so many things in my life. The children we met through our community service were absolutely inspiring and life-changing.
Molly Mandel

Marc was so overwhelmed by the work he did that my heart is so full just listening to him talk about the children he’s become close to and about the family he met whose house he helped to create. He is so moved and inspired and fulfilled by this experience. I truly had no idea how life changing this would be for him. He was so saddened to say goodbye to the kids from the Boys and Girls Club and couldn’t wait to send me a picture of a bracelet one of the boys made for him that said “BFF”. Marc is very active in community service at home, but this is an entirely new level for him and I feel it is something that will inspire him to do even more in the future.You run an incredible program and I am thankful that I chose Westcoast Connection / 360° Student Travel for him. I knew Marc was in the best of hands.
