KIDS & TEENS
AGES: 7–17
Imagine a vacation where you hear yes more than no, and teen drama magically turns into reconnecting. It actually happens when you discover a new world as a family—and then the kids head out to enjoy cool activities with our equally cool leaders, while you explore further on your own… or just relax by the pool. Time together and time apart means a more rewarding time for everyone. For ages 7–17 (4+ welcome).
Note: Some trips have age restrictions for certain activities. Learn more about family trip age restrictions.
