STUDENT PROGRAMS IN THAILAND

Whether you are looking to care for elephants, spike your adrenaline with
adventure travel, sightsee, connect with elders in rural villages, or do it all,
our student programs in Thailand are for you. Known as the Land of Smiles,
Thailand will welcome and captivate you.

The Thai people are friendly and enjoy sharing their Buddhist culture, spicy
food, and love for laughter. Thailand is the hub of Rustic’s Southeast Asia
operations with programs on offer since 1999. Rustic Pathways offers student
programs in Thailand that center on community service, animal conservation,
outdoor adventure and immersive culture.

THAILAND: THAILAND ADVENTURER

THAILAND: COME WITH NOTHING

THAILAND: THAI ELEPHANT CONSERVATION PROJECT


STUDENT PROGRAMS IN THE UNITED STATES

Our student programs in the United States feature the third most visited country
in the world. Key highlights on our student programs in the United States
include: the capital, Washington, D.C.; one of the country’s most incredible
natural wonders, The Grand Canyon; the home of Jazz, New Orleans; home to the
last frontier, Alaska; and home to volcanic beaches, Hawaii.

If you’re not from the U.S. you can join our student programs in the United
States, and we hope you gain perspective on the country. If you are an American
on our student programs in the United States, we hope you can see your home with
new eyes.

USA-HAWAII: HAWAII ALOHA SERVICE

USA-ALASKA: OFF THE MAP

BY INVITATION ONLY. INQUIRE WITHIN


STUDENT TRAVEL PROGRAMS IN THE AMERICAS

Student travel programs in the Americas highlight the range of the two
continents. The following are some, but not all, of the countries where Rustic
Pathways leads student travel programs: Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Ecuador,
Guatemala, Peru, Puerto Rico, and the United States.

In Costa Rica, get to know the Tico people as you work on ecoservice
initiatives, save turtles at conservation projects or volunteer in the nearby
community. After service, you’ll find out why Costa Rica is a surfer’s paradise
and you’ll be riding the Pacific waves in no time.

Or, on other student travel programs in the Americas, you can spend your time
helping communities in the Dominican Republic, assisting local volunteers with
mangrove restoration, beach cleanups, and other community service initiatives.
You can learn from experts about efforts to maintain the extensive biodiversity
of the region. After service, you will horseback ride, discover ancient Taino
paintings in hidden caves, and visit the UNESCO World Heritage site of Santo
Domingo.

Or in Peru, you can spend your time on student travel programs in the Americas
leading meaningful service in the heart of the Sacred Valley. Play fútbol with
new friends, learn traditional dances from local children, and practice Spanish
with members of the community where you’ll stay. Contribute to projects in rural
Peru, as you do on all our student travel programs in the Americas as you
immerse yourself into Andean daily life. Conclude with an unforgettable trip to
Machu Picchu.

COSTA RICA: SURF AND SERVICE
COSTA RICA: TURTLE CONSERVATION
COSTA RICA: YOUNG EXPLORERS: PURA VIDA

DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: ISLAND LIVING
DOMINICAN REPUBLIC: MARINE LIFE

PERU: SACRED VALLEY SERVICE
PERU: ANDES TO AMAZON


STUDENT TRAVEL PROGRAMS IN EUROPE

Student travel programs in Europe center around Italy and Greece. Travelers
around the world know the countries for their food, art, history and culture, so
expect pasta, pizza, souvlaki, stifado, museums and mezze. Not only do the rich
history, stunning landscapes, and delicious food make Italy and Greece top
destinations, but our student travel programs in Europe include the deep
cultural immersion, local partnerships and animal service experience that Rustic
Pathways is known for.

With so many student travel programs in Europe to choose from, it can be quite
difficult to decide what to choose. At the core, it is up to each student to
know their goals (make more friends, engage in meaningful service, have fun,
connect with local people, etc.) and the budget that they are willing to
allocate towards various student travel programs in Europe.

ITALY: NORTHERN ITALY ADVENTURE

ITALY & GREECE: CULTURAL IMMERSION AND TURTLES

GREECE: ISLAND TURTLES


STUDENT TRAVEL PROGRAMS IN THE SOUTH PACIFIC 

Join us on our student travel programs in the South Pacific to discover
magnificent beaches, countryside, and rainforest. The South Pacific welcomes
budding young explorers and seasoned travelers alike.

Spend time participating in meaningful community service projects at a wildlife
rehabilitation center and local elementary school where you’ll interact with
Aussie students. Enjoy the laidback pace of Fiji; relaxing island life and
lounging in the sun will help you share laughs with your fellow Rustic Pathways
travelers. Our student travel programs in the South Pacific have something for
everyone.

FIJI: SUN, SAND, AND ISLAND SERVICE

AUSTRALIA: ANIMAL CONSERVATION

AUSTRALIA: SERVICE & ADVENTURE DOWN UNDER


STUDENT TRAVEL PROGRAMS IN ASIA

Student Travel Programs in Asia travel to Japan and Korea in 2024. From kimchi
and k-pop t0 sundae and sushi to Hongdae and Roppongi, our students, travelers
and aspiring linguists will have many cultural and culinary options. Our
programs in Japan and Korea line up so you can do both student travel programs
in Asia this summer.

JAPAN: TOKYO FUSION

JAPAN & KOREA: TOKYO TO SEOUL

SOUTH KOREA: SEOUL SEARCHING

HOW TO CHOOSE A SUMMER TRAVEL PROGRAM FOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

The task of selecting a Rustic Pathways student travel program is not an easy
one but, fear not! The secret to choosing a program is understanding what you’re
looking for and finding the programs that best fit your interests.


THREE QUESTIONS TO FIND THE BEST STUDENT TRAVEL PROGRAMS:

WHERE DO I WANT TO TRAVEL?

Is there a specific country or region that calls your name? Do you want to
travel to a Spanish-speaking country? Would you rather be at the beach, in the
rainforest, or on the mountains?

Think about whether or not you want to travel far away from home or go somewhere
closer for this summer. Then, search through the country section to see what
programs are offered in the region of your interest.

WHAT DO I WANT TO EXPERIENCE?

What do you want to see, learn, or do on your trip abroad? Do you want to
complete a service project, make new friends, learn a new skill, or go on a wild
adventure?

Most of our programs offer a variety of learning activities, but some programs
are more specific than others, and may be a better fit for you. Find the trips,
tours and programs that best fit your personality.

WHAT INTERESTS ME?

What kind of service will I enjoy? Consider whether you want to work with other
people, with animals, or with nature. Would you rather run a summer camp for
youth, help build a home for a deserving local, or get your hands dirty on a
reforestation project?

Our courses and programs are centered around specific types of service projects,
so spend some time to think about what you would enjoy working on and where your
skill sets lie!

LETTER FROM OUR DIRECTOR OF ADMISSIONS

Dear Prospective Rustic Pathways Parent,

The first thing you should know about Rustic Pathways is that we are not a teen
tour company. We do not believe in seeing sights through a bus window.

When we travel on our own, with friends, or with family, we toss aside our
guidebooks. We ditch the tourist track and find experiences that immerse us in
local life. We don’t see the world, we experience it. And that’s what happens
when you travel with us.

Rustic Pathways pushes boundaries. We engage and connect deeply with new people
and cultures across the world. We break the norms of student travel. We create
experiences that give our students a greater understanding of the world. We seek
to build a more unified global community.

On our programs, students engage with the people and places they visit. They
form genuine relationships with host families, community members. They make deep
friendships with our program leaders and their fellow student travelers.

They return home with more than photos and souvenirs. Our students will be the
first to tell you that the people they met made their traveling experience
memorable.

When you join Rustic Pathways, we welcome you into our global family Our team is
full of genuine people, all working to ensure you and your family thrive.

Our program managers will meet with you in your living room to help you choose a
program. Our personal travel advisors will guide you through the preparation
process. We can even help decide if you need to pack that extra shirt.

Our country directors notify you when your child arrives. We will send mid-trip
updates on how your group is doing.

Our program leaders come from cities, towns, and villages across the globe. We
train them to create a diverse perspective and a safe space for our students to
explore, engage, and grow. Every step of the Rustic Pathways experience has
someone who cares about our mission.

One of my greatest sources of pride is that no two Rustic Pathways programs are
the same. Each has its own unique character, charm and story. They are an
earnest reflection of the locale and the people who bring it to life.

Our newest programs added this year are in Japan and Greece. These programs are
stories and moments crafted by the locale and the team who designed it. Which
program will be your story?

We are not a travel for teens tour company because our goal is bigger than that.
Our vision for education stretches far beyond checking destinations off a list.

We know that travel can transform students and transform the world for the
better. Welcome to Rustic Pathways. We can’t wait for your journey with us to
begin.

Yours in travel,

Scott Ingram
Director, Admissions

THE BEST INTERNATIONAL STAFF

Rustic Pathways spans the globe! Most of our staff members are based outside the
United States. While the cultural traditions of our team vary from country to
country, the shared values that define Rustic Pathways and make them exceptional
extend across all borders.

Country Operations teams include international and local staff who work together
to ensure Rustic students have fun, empowering, and safe experiences with us.


PROGRAM LEADERS

Our Program Leaders have backgrounds in teaching, experiential education,
service learning, wilderness training, international development, and other
outdoor and educational fields. Each year, we hold in-country training sessions
for both new and returning program leaders to ensure we maintain our standards
in safety, student learning, community service, and the overall Rustic Pathways
student experience.

Program Leaders are incredible role models for students and, most importantly,
they are all dedicated to creating the best possible programs for students.
