OUT OF THE BOX AND INTO THE WORLD

California Tour Consultants is offering a terrific alternative to the summer blahs.

We have specialized in customized arranged student travel programs from all over the USA, Europe and Australia since 1980, so feel confident in this offer to Bay Area families.

We have put together a fascinating, fun and very affordable program as a solution to the summer months’ dilemma for curious children and their insightful parents.

Each week offers a range of activities in and around San Francisco which will not only be enjoyable but also educational. We are striving for your child's experiencing adventure, having fun while learning, instilling a sense of community and sharing knowledge. Each student will get a journal into which they will write their impressions of the various experiences, draw pictures of what they have seen and gather tidbits to create a scrapbook of memories.

We will have a Certified Tour Director, oftentimes a former teacher, using SPAB buses as mandated by the state, and encourage those parents who can, to volunteer one day a week or more, to share in the weekly programs. There will be a ratio of one adult to ten children. The drop off and pick up point will be a convenient spot for all those registered. The Program begins June 22 and ends August 14.

The cost is $375.00 per week, per student. This translates into $75.00 per day, or a modest $7.50 per hour for a 10 hour day. We will provide a healthy morning and afternoon snack. Each child is expected to bring a Lunch and beverage from home. Coolers will be on board the chartered bus daily. All personnel have CPR Training. Please consider OUT OF THE BOX AND INTO THE WORLD for your child and sign up to register before June 1st. A number of 25% scholarships will be available for those whose parents will be volunteering one or more days per week. This program is based on a minimum of 30 students per week. Full payment is required three weeks before each program.
