Summer travel programs in Italy and Across Europe

Italy is a fascinating country shaped by geography, land and sea alike. A gem of the Mediterranean influenced by seafarers and global trade, Italy is also an enclave sitting at the heart of Southern Europe.

For lovers of food and culture, there is no match. The greatest pastamakers and some of history’s most talented artists called Italy home. When you think of iconic Italian creations, consider that Michelangelo’s exceptional David sculpture, the leaning Tower of Pisa, and the hymns of vocalist Andrea Bocceli are but a fraction of Italy’s contributions to the world scene.

From the wonders of ancient cities such as Rome, Florence and Venice, to the quaint and golden Italian countryside, travelers to Italy often find themselves drawn back to this nation of 60 million inhabitants.

You can also join one of our multi-country expeditions that takes you to Italy and other countries on the European continent!

Our travel programs for teens are more than just a tour!

Experience destinations through a new perspective. Embrace authentic, cross-cultural connections. Discover unseen sides of world history and off-the-beaten-path locations. And build community with your new friends on the adventure of a lifetime.

Open for enrollment for high school students ages 14-18

From locally-led experiences to thoughtful group discussions, students will see firsthand how immersive travel is not just about a place, it’s about people.

Consider what meaningful goals you would like to set for your future and how the connections you form with your new network of travel companions will stay with you after your journey.

Also, most teens travel solo to the program and meet new friends during the experience! Though you’re of course welcome to attend with a sibling or friend.

A transformational experience that prepares you for life in college and beyond

Stepping outside of your comfort zone before college can be tremendously rewarding before you start university. Whether this is the summer before your freshman year in college, or you’re still a freshman in high school, there’s a TTN program tailored just for you.

Students who travel abroad during high school will be a step ahead of most Americans their age, who either wait until college to study abroad, or never travel abroad at all!
