The amount of spending money you send with your teen should depend on the area being visited, the thriftiness of your teen, and whether or not your teen plans on making any special purchases. The trip fee includes all meals and snacks (ice cream, donuts, cookies), admission fees, and even phone calls home. It does not include general junk food like soda, energy drinks, and candy, Teen Treks trippers should bring some spending money for bike repairs, postcards, stamps, extra snacks, souvenirs, etc.). We recommend $20-$50 a week for any of the US or Canadian trips, and $40-$70 per week for the European Trek. You may consider travelers checks or gift cards, rather than cash.
