How does my child prepare for travel?
Most Student Ambassadors find it highly rewarding to prepare for their journeys by learning about the places they will soon explore. Researching the history, customs, geography, people, and current news of the different destinations will heighten you child's sense of excitement about the upcoming journey. Such knowledge actually makes the journey more interesting and minimizes any culture shock associated with visiting a new place.
We will provide several comprehensive, no-cost resources for information, including the Explore Guide, Program Guide and Student Protocol.
Our in-depth
Explore Guides feature interesting facts and a comprehensive overview of the culture, history and government of the places your local delegation will experience.
The take-along
Program Guide will help your child appreciate what makes each destination unique, with fun, hands-on activities highlighting interesting details at museums, government buildings and heritage sites.
Your child's
Student Protocol provides detailed information on preparing for a successful program such as applying for a passport, phoning home during the journey, staying healthy and much more. You will receive a
Parent Protocol so you can support your child's efforts and activities.
It is also important to assess your child's physical fitness and energy level when helping prepare for a Student Ambassador journey. On these programs, students may be required to walk long distances over uneven terrain, climb long flights of stairs, and carry their own luggage.
As travel can be physically demanding, we ask that you complete a required health form that must include a parent or guardian signature. The information you provide helps us prepare for any special needs and ensures a successful journey for all participants.
All medical conditions that require monitoring or treatment must be disclosed prior to travel. Due to the active nature of the programs, we must insist that each Student Ambassador be able to manage any personal medical conditions and administer any necessary treatment without assistance from others.
