NEW YORK - WESTCHESTER

ARDSLEY

This trip was the best summer I've ever because it was the perfect blend of fun, while exploring France. I especially loved the group size because I got to know everyone extremely well!
Erica Mildner

For the second summer, Erica had a WONDERFUL experience traveling with your organization. Communication was excellent and trip objectives were achieved. Thank you for a well organized excellent trip. It was a completely positive experience and we appreciate the effort that went into the planning and execution I would highly recommend you to anyone!
Esther & Mark Mildner

The service was great- a real eye opener, and I loved the adventure. Building the bunk beds for the Humanitarian Foundation was the best service project because I got to see the living conditions of the impoverished people and it felt like I was doing something really useful. I have a better understanding of the way these people live. I'm definitely not going to take anything for granted anymore. My director JP had a really positive attitude and was so caring. My other leaders were also so nice, caring, fun and cool. I thought the service and the adventure were very well balanced.
Ilana Regenbogen

Ilana had a wonderful time in Costa Rica. One component that made the trip so amazing was the leaders JP and Heidi. JP seemed to have endless energy and a natural knack for working with young people. His humor and warm personality instilled a sense of comfort. In fact, Ilana said she would not have tried many of the things if not for JP. Heidi was absolutely lovely. She really worked hard consistently to make sure everyone was happy and comfortable with the experience. I feel that the staff was the difference between a good time and an amazing time. Thanks for the wonderful summer experience!

Jonah Fischer

On my first trip, Westcoast Connection was the summer of a lifetime. I loved every minute of it. It was such a great experience and I got the chance to try many new things that I wouldn't be able to do anywhere else. On my second trip, the fun of community service was beyond what I expected. I really enjoyed Humanitarian Foundation because I was really able to connect with the people we were helping. I have learned to appreciate everything I have. My director JP was excellent-he had great energy and was always motivated. I was able to help people and also meet a bunch of new friends. It was rewarding and life changing.

Abbe Kramer

The summer I spent in Belize was indescribable. From services projects like running a summer camp for local kids to the protection of the turtle eggs, every thing we did was rewarding and meaningful. The lasting friendships made with the kids on the tour, as well as the people I met in Belize are irreplaceable. The amount I learned about the country and various cultures here as well as myself as a person was boundless. This was a summer to remember and an amazing experience overall. Not only did I feel accomplished about all the works I completed on the Community Service Belize program, but it opened me up to different living conditions and pushed me physically and mentally. It is definitely an amazing experience I will never forget.

This trip was unbelievable and life changing. Not only were the service projects rewarding but my group came together and supported one another in every activity. The people we helped were appreciative. I will never forget this wonderful experience.

We were so impressed and pleased with your staff on Ashleigh’s trip. Your Director Cayleigh was absolutely fantastic. She was kind enough to call and speak to us directly. She was empathetic, knowledgeable, professional, comforting, and truly seemed to have a good sense of what teenagers are all about and how to deal with them. When Ashleigh came home she expressed what a fantastic trip she had and how terrific, encouraging and motivating Cayleigh was along with Adam and Naomi. Your company is fortunate to have them on your staff. The overall communications with your summer office was very good. Susan was understanding and efficient.

I had an amazing experience. It was everything I expected with a lot more. My favorite immersion program was in San Gerardo because we got to experience their lifestyle, help them and bond with the people. Working in the orphanage was incredible because it was really touching to help those kids and also a lot of fun painting and being around them. My Spanish absolutely improved!

Julie Domonkos & Dan Leffell

Most amazing thing I've ever done in my life. I thought I would feel uncomfortable but I was totally wrong and loved every second. Everything was incredible and more rewarding than expected.

Pam & Don Shassian

My trip to Alaska was amazing in every respect. We participated in such rewarding service projects, but also got to see so many new and interesting things, unlike to what we are used to at home. The counselors were incredible and, made us feel comfortable and sure that we enjoyed our trip. I got much more out of my trip than expected. I participated in amazing service projects, but also made incredible friends and unforgettable memories. Working at Beans Café was the best because I was able to watch the effect of my service on different people’s days. Working one to one was an experience unlike any other, and it was one of the most rewarding things I have ever done. I have seen how many different aspects of society require volunteerism and how significant every tiny contribution really is. When I get home, I really want to devote myself to an organization that needs help. The balance of community service, adventure, work, and fun was perfect because there was never too much of one thing. A few days of service was always followed by just as much fun and sightseeing. The trip was incredible in all regards and I could not have asked for more. It opened my eyes to how much help is needed in society, but also to how easily and meaningful such assistance can be provided. The counselors were able to connect with every kid on a professional and personal level. I will never forget the things I did, the people I met, and the places I went on my trip.

My director Jen was always there when I needed her. I couldn't have asked for better. My tour leader, Bryan, was so responsible and was also there when I needed him. On this trip, I was reminded of the value of generosity through the children at the orphanage. This trip took me outside of my comfort zone and I learned that I am okay with that!

The trip was wonderful in every way. I got to meet most of the staff and they seemed mature and experienced and did a good job of supervising and leading. I was also impressed with Rachel's Spanish speaking skills. Thank You.

This trip was a fantastic experience for Alex. He was looking to do something different this summer and this trip combined all his favorite activities (rock climbing, ropes course, kayaking), plus he made new friends who we believe he will keep in touch with. So, thank you!

YORKTOWN HEIGHTS

Working at the camp for the kids was my favorite service activity because we got to show them a fun time. This program has taught me more about Costa Rican culture, and I was given a chance to help others in need. There was a perfect balance of community service and touring, and my director, Melissa was fun, nice and responsible! This trip was a great experience and one I will remember and hold dear to me forever.
Emma Sweeney

My first summer was phenomenal. Between the staff, the friends, and the activities; I couldn’t have asked for a better summer! Now this year my backpack Europe trip was by far the most amazing summer of my life! The director Sarah was amazing! She was on top of everything and was totally awesome! I loved her. My staff was incredible and I made so many friends!
Annica Hellberg

Annica had an absolutely wonderful trip. She was so sorry to see it end! There were so many unusual activities which made the trip unique and perfect for the age group. Along with all the wonderful locations, the counselors were terrific, and the camaraderie of the group made this a very special experience which will be remembered for a very long time.

The baseball trip was the best summer ever! I learned so much! It was my first time away from home and it was great!
Avery Decker

Dear Mark,
We just wanted to let you know that our son Avery had an Amazing time on your teen tour "Major League Madness". He still talks about his experience and the fun he had going to all the baseball stadiums, meeting the baseball players and getting autographs. The leaders of the trip were great and they made Avery feel comfortable right from the start about leaving home. He really enjoyed the counselor Scott. Avery enjoyed hearing all about Scott's baseball experience and especially how to get autographs and how to get in touch with the players. He definitely was an asset to your tour company to have someone as knowledgeable as him on this trip. Keep up the good work and let us know what you have planned for next year’s trip!! Thanks again for giving our son a summer he'll never forget!!!
Sincerely,
Sharon & Barry Decker
