During Trips and Ending of Trips

COMMUNICATION WITH YOUR TEEN
Our leaders are instructed to have kids call home at least once per week. We do not allow teens to bring their own cell phones, but leaders have cell phones In case of an emergency. Your teen may bring a cell phone with them if they are traveling alone before and after the trip, but will be required to leave it in their bicycle box for the duration of the trip.

END OF TRIP PICKUP
Pickup for most trips is at 5 PM on the last day of the trip. Parents may pickup their teen at a designated meeting place to be specified by email.

AIRPORT DROP-OFFS
Many Teen Treks trippers return home by plane. Trip leaders will see your teen off at the airport for a return flight. Make sure to book your teen for a flight between 6 and 9 PM for the last day of their trip. Make sure to email your teen’s travel itinerary to the Teen Treks office at info@teentreks.com by June 1.

TRAVELING HOME BY TRAIN OR BUS
Some Teen Treks trippers take a bus or train home from their trip. The information for “Airport Drop-offs” also applies to drop-off to a bus terminal or train station. Make sure to book all travel arrangements for drop-off between 6 and 9 PM on the last day of their trip. Email your teen’s travel itinerary to the Teen Treks office at info@teentreks.com by June 1.
