Coronavirus Concerns

At this time, the World Health Organization (WHO), the U.S. Department of State and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have recommended against travel to Mainland China, South Korea, Italy and Iran  We are monitoring and following the travel recommendations set forth by the CDC and WHO along with the U.S Department of State. 
 
At this time, all Student Adventure tours within the United Sates and Canada will proceed as scheduled. Though the media coverage can seem frightening, the CDC has advised that the immediate health risk to the general American public is low. The safety and security of our participants is our top priority, we will not allow travel if a student's safety is compromised.
