Tech-Free Travel Programs

No Phone? No Problem!
Unplug on our Tech-Free travel programs and experience adventures that foster deeper connections and independence away from screens.

Disconnect to Reconnect – Tech-Free Travel Programs

Once students arrive on their phone free summer trip, our leaders collect all internet capable devices, so participants can truly unplug from screens and immerse themselves in the adventure. Without the constant lure of technology, students connect more deeply with each other, the community, and the culture around them.

Why Choose a Phone-Free Summer Program?

  • Deeper Connections – Build genuine friendships and engage more fully with fellow travelers, without social media.
  • Be Fully Present – Soak it all up! No distractions from cultural activities, service projects, and adventures.
  • Mindful Travel – Appreciate the sights, sounds, and pace of a new place, allowing for more connection with locals.
  • Personal Growth – Foster independence, problem-solving, and confidence away from screens.
  • Better Group Dynamics – Encourage a shared experience and team bonding from start to finish.

Even though students won’t have their phones, leaders capture plenty of pictures and share a full photo album after the program. Phone free doesn’t meet photo free!
