Westcoast Connection - Mamaroneck, New York

Jennifer A.

Our daughter had asked to go on a teen tour and picked the tour she wanted. This was the first time she was ever away from home and she went not knowing any of the other kids. From the moment we arrived at the airport to drop her off, any concern we may have had was alleviated just by the sight of the counselors there to greet her. They were smiling and very welcoming. The tour itself was amazing and just what she dreamed it would be. She made friends quickly because the staff and other kids were a wonderful group. Westcoast Connection is a well oiled machine and did a great job getting all of the kids involved and feeling comfortable on the trip. We thank you Westcoast Connection! We knew our daughter was in good hands. Our questions were always answered and communication was always excellent. It was only 2 weeks, but it was priceless. Our daughter came home with a new sense of confidence. She is already taking about next summer!!!

My son had a wonderful time on his first Westcoast Connection trip this summer - California Extravaganza. I would highly recommend this trip to anyone looking for a great teen tour for their child. The staff is helpful and supportive and the execution and planning is flawless. The activities were fun, engaging and age appropriate. The kids were busy and always on the move and got to see so many amazing attractions along the West Coast. Definitely a must do!

Our daughter had an incredible experience on her Costa Rica service trip through Westcoast Connections. The trip was so well organized and had a perfect balance of service and adventure. The counselors were terrific. Our daughter has Celiac- and she was able to eat safely the entire trip. She developed great friendships during the trip, and felt comfortable and safe the entire time. We highly recommend this trip.

My son is a repeat participant having done three Westcoast Connection trips on the East Coast, West Coast and most recently Hawaii. He loved the activities they had planned each day and made many new friends - some who have also traveled with him on subsequent trips. The counselors are great at getting the kids to socialize with everyone in the group and are also communicative with the parents throughout the trip via social media. I felt he was in good (and safe!) hands and had made lasting memories.

We have used West Coast Connection on 4 different occasions and our children absolutely love their program! They are a fabulous company to work with and have excellent programming. All of our children traveled independently and had a fantastic experience. On one occasion, my daughter had a rough start and thought she had made a mistake. I contacted the staff and they were immediately addressing the issue and within a few days my daughter had made several friends and ended up having the best summer of her life, rating it 100 out of 100. I trust West Coast Connection and find them incredibly easy to work with and have confidence in.

My son had an incredible experience on his Community Service/Adventure tour. He was able to explore Costa Rica and do incredible adventurous activities like ziplining, canyoning, white water rafting- while also giving back to the local community. The trip had a nice balance of service and adventure- where he transformed classrooms, dug trenches for water lines, spent time with local kids and senior citizens and experience local wild life at the animal rescue.

Thank you for keeping him safe and giving him a memorable experience.

My daughter has been on two WCC trips and had a great time on both. They are well organized, provide great communication and the itineraries and activities are fantastic. She tried so many new adventures and really just had a blast. Highly recommend!

My daughter participated in the 10-day service and adventure trip in Costa Rica. She raved about the trip leaders, she said they made it a ton of fun and appreciated the efforts they made to get the group to bond. She's already making plans to meet up with the new friends she made. Overall, a great experience.
