Planning a trip to Washington, D.C. does not have to be overwhelming or complicated. Student Adventures has a suite of technology tools that are here to help! We have the TripWheel, TripApp, and TripChat- designed to make the process easier and keep everyone on the same page at all times. Let’s explore how each of these tools works together to create a seamless experience for both sponsors and students.
TripWheel: Your one-stop destination for EVERYTHING.
TripWheel is a single command center for every piece of information on your trip. It keeps you organized in the planning process by breaking it down into logical milestones-from promoting the trip, engaging parents, and setting important deadlines to finalizing itineraries.
Easy Documentation: Keep all the forms you may need, the guidelines on going about the process, and a few reminders in one spot, so you are not torn between several emails or pieces of paper.
TripApp: Smarter Access to Sponsors and Students
TripApp is your digital companion during the trip! Having all information ready through a mobile device engages sponsors and students alike, reducing the possibility of students receiving or looking at announcements. Let’s say you have a 3-bus trip, and bus one experiences some temporary issues and has to pull over; just notify everyone else through the TripApp TripChat… everyone is on the same page!
Customized Itineraries: Easily see the daily schedule to stay informed of where to be and when for students and parents alike.
Digital Checklists: Keep important tasks, permission slips, or fundraising reminders in one place within the app.
TripChat: Easy Real-Time Communication
Whether it’s a minor adjustment in the schedule or reminding them to get back to the bus on time, TripChat keeps you connected to all students, parents, and chaperones alike. This chat feature ensures you can communicate instantly with the entire group or an individual so that no one misses a beat.
Notifications: Let each and every one of them know via push notifications on their phones if there is any change in the venue or shifting of any time slot within a second or two.
Group Chats: Easily send quick updates to all at once and don’t have to chase around different phone numbers.
Chaperone Coordination: Form small-sized chat groups that include chaperons, ensuring easy and swift on-the-ground coordination.
