5 Key Factors to Consider When Choosing a School Trip Partner – Why Student Adventures is Your Go-to Partner

Attention to Safety and Logistics

On any school trip, the students’ safety should be second to none. When looking for a school trip partner, find one who takes a proactive approach to your safety, not just one that merely provides the minimum to get by. That includes accommodations, specially trained staff members, and an efficient method of contact in case of an emergency. At Student Adventures, the bottom line in all we do is safety. We preplan all details in advance, from selecting safe accommodations to organizing transportation routes, and keeping student security as our top priority. Comprehensive safety procedures assure trip sponsors and parents that students are allowed the freedom to discover and learn within a secure environment.

Expert Itinerary Planning

This can make or break your school trip experience. Make sure to work with a school trip company that knows the location you want to visit, like the back of its hand! This will allow you to get an itinerary structured to hit the correct locations at the correct times to minimize traveling and maximize your experience at these sites!

With Student Adventures, we have made every effort to ensure that your itinerary is designed for an enriching yet comfortably paced experience. We group sites by proximity to each other, reduce unnecessary travel time, and make sure each stop contributes significant value to the overall learning of experience. From exploring the U.S. Capitol to firsthand experiences of pivotal moments in history at Arlington Cemetery, our itineraries maximize every minute spent in Washington D.C.

Fundraising Support and Financial Flexibility

Cost can stand out as a factor for many families, and we understand that. So you should make sure that the school travel partner you select has practical fundraising solutions. The right partner will be the one that gives tools to make fundraising more manageable, allowing more students to take part regardless of their upbringing and financial status.

We realize the financial commitment that a school trip can be, and with that in mind, Student Adventures provides an unparalleled fundraising option. Each student is given their personalized fundraising link, which they can distribute to family, friends, and their broader community. This system ensures that participation from every student is made easier, as 100% of the proceeds go directly into the costs of the trip. We continue to incorporate financial flexibility for schools and families so that no student misses out due to cost.

Innovating the Trip Experience
