Sample Program Fees

Per Person Pricing

All of our short term programs are fully customized. Based on the size of the group, time of year, lodging options, add-ons, and other considerations, fees will vary. These are only average estimates for basic programs. Program fees include food, lodging, ground transportation*, cultural and recreational activities, and an on-site staff person. All programs – with the exception of domestic programs – include travel, trip, and evacuation insurance. All fees additionally include a contribution to a community partner organization, which typically takes place through the purchase of building materials, stipends for speakers, or other general operating donations.
