The Director Lindsay was extremely knowledgeable and did an amazing job. She knew exactly what she was doing. The rest of the staff was caring at all times and made me feel welcome and comfortable.
Jamie Leipzig

ALPINE

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 Wolfe

ANNANDALE

The projects working with kids was 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.  

Kathy & Alan Marrus

BASKING RIDGE

The Major League Madness tour was more than just watching and enjoying the game of baseball.  Through watching the games and sharing our appreciation for baseball my tour mates and I grew closer and created lifelong friendships.

Jeremy Baum

I loved our director Lindsay. I had a fantastic time on the tour!
Kelly O’Connor

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 in 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.

CALIFON

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.

It was the best summer ever! Everybody on the tour was nice and open to making new friends. It is a great way to make friends with people all over the country. This was also a great experience because I might never go back to the places I visited. When I came home from the tour I was so sad because I knew I would not be with those people on the same bus again. In the end, this was the most amazing experience ever and I will never forget it.
Kate Malamut

We were very pleased with all aspects of Kate’s tour: the activities, supervision and communication. Our daughter had a terrific summer and made lifelong friends. It was exactly as we hoped it would be – a summer to remember.

Mia Bushman

Geoffrey recently returned from the Northwestern Odyssey. To say that he had a good time would be an understatement! Geoffrey loved all the places that they visited, but the highlight for him was Banff. He thought it was one of the most beautiful places that he had ever seen! He insists that we see Banff next summer as a family. Thank you for showing Geoff the splendor of the Northwest and making each new experience one that will remain a vivid memory for a lifetime! To sum it up one word, “awesome!” according to Geoffrey. Tour Director Mike was wonderful- fun loving yet responsible. Geoffrey got along stupendously with him. The activities were varied & those that really appeal to teens. He has made new friends- Geoff plans on getting together with several of the new friends next summer or perhaps sooner. He had a blast! Thanks!
Jodi & Alvin Stern

My son Douglas Cooper absolutely adored the trip. It was a great experience for him an all aspects. I would recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you.

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.

Thank you for providing him with an unforgettable 3 weeks!

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!

Benjamin Leff

We were especially impressed with the quality, passion, and professionalism of the counselors on Benjamin's tour. It was easy to see that they were there for the kids from the start. Although the kids all came from different places the counselors were able to help them to get to know one another really quickly and become a family. It was evident that there was so much planning and creativity that went into their daily activities as they toured the west coast. He says this was his best summer ever and the friendships he has made will last a lifetime.

Barbara and Scott Birnbaum

Rachel’s trip was our first experience with your company and we could not be happier.  We were impressed with communication, procedures, and the picture journal during trip.  There are no better words from your child than 'this was a life altering experience, thank you for sending me'.  So we say thank you to the Westcoast Connection Staff!

MADISON

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!!!

Lacey cannot stop talking about her trip. It was an experience every teenager should encounter, and will never be forgotten.

My favorite Community Service project in Belize was building the playground because we actually got to see how it affected the children in a positive way. 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. The lasting impressions I made with new friendships, experiences and service have changed my life. I never imagined that I could cross such cultural barriers and still feel comfortable with my surroundings.

Swami the Director was awesome.
Eliza Zweig

Eliza liked the variety of sightseeing, the camping, and sports of all kinds, the downtime, the amusement parks, and the cities. We liked the team building with intelligent, qualified counselors. Good communication and good opportunities for communication with each other (for example at the campfires). We came to appreciate that it’s a lot more than pure fun, even though we think the kids think it is.

Brian Doyle

I knew I would have a great experience but never thought the trip could be this fun! I loved every service project but Costa Rica Humanitarian Foundation was by far the best.

Thanks Westcoast Connection and 360 Student Travel for an incredible summer.

Whitney had an 'awesome' trip, visiting places she studied in European History and doing so in a fun 'kid-oriented' experience (rather than with her parents). Although she went on this trip not knowing anyone, she made great friends that made the trip even better.  She loved the activities including the skiing in Zermatt as well as the cooking in Italy.  Great Job WCC!!

NORTH CALDWELL

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 trip was an experience of a lifetime! It was really a life changing experience and without the Westcoast Connection team, none of this would have been possible, so THANK YOU!

Thanks.

Samara Schlossman

From before they left New York, at the airport Jay called me to tell me that he was already having the “sickest time”. He had not even left New York yet. He was so bummed to come home.

Caroline Klinger

360 Student Travel pushed me to do new things and try new things that I never would have done otherwise.  It was an incredible experience!
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.

Carly Beckman

 

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.

Nina Sanders

 

Nina had a wonderful experience and enjoyed Costa Rica very much!  She thought the guides on her trip were wonderful!

RIDGEWOOD

The community service was fun and very well organized. I loved building houses and playing with the children was a really great experience. I felt like I was helping out a lot and making a difference in someone's life, and it felt so good to see the children having fun. I have learned to appreciate all that I have. The balance between the service and the adventure was good. This trip has shown me that I can help out anywhere I go.
Alexa Siegel

I have the utmost praise for your organization and have highly recommended it. The staffing, leadership and information was always quickly and timely conveyed to parents.

He was so moved that he is planning to continue his service into the future through his high school.

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.

Suzanne & Gary Krantz

We just want to say how much Andrew enjoyed this trip. Although we haven't seen him yet, all his phone calls were so positive. From the kids, to the accommodations, to the awesome golf courses that he would not have otherwise had the chance to play, certainly in 3 weeks time. We believe this was the first trip of its kind on the west coast and it certainly seemed to marry a wonderful trip with truly high quality golf. It was a golf-lover’s dream trip. Thank you for running a great trip
Loren and Mike Silvershein

This was a great summer for Cory. I can sum it up by saying that when he came home, I asked him to rate his summer from one to ten, and without a moment’s hesitation, his answer was a ten. WCC did a truly impressive job. Thanks for this experience.
Ronni & Eric Lieberman

Hard to believe that after starting this process over 9 months ago, the trip is over and Ellen is home. We wanted to personally thank you and the entire staff there for everything.

Jonathan had a fabulous time and came home with great memories. He really had some concerns about rock climbing and the ropes course. When he left he said he didn’t want to try either. Jonathan tried both and was extremely successful and we have some fabulous pictures. Thank you for making it such a wonderful experience for him.

It was an amazing summer, so many good times.
Stephanie Denker

Stephanie had a terrific time and has excellent memories of a summer where she grew by helping others less fortunate, while also taking time to enjoy a beautiful part of our country. We liked the personal care and attention given both to the tour members and the parents, especially the kick off introductions at the airport. It showed you took the extra effort to get the summer program started on the right footing.
Marlene & Michael Denker

Stacy Lefkowitz

Everything about Westcoast is first class and professionally run. Starting from the airport departure it was extremely organized and we felt confident our choice was right. Corey thoroughly enjoyed himself and never felt that it was cliquey. The counselors made certain the kids got to know each other. We were thrilled. You should commend yourselves on a job well done. Thank you.
