COVID-19 Resources

Welcome

The WA Team is working tirelessly to ensure that our students can continue to adventure, even during the ever-changing world that we are living in. We believe that the ability to get outside and connect has truly never been more important than it is now – after seemingly endless months of staying home to help our communities stay safe. We invite you to review the resources below and we hope that you will decide to join us for an adventure this year!

If you were enrolled for a program in 2020 and have a trip credit to use in 2021, we can’t wait to see you! If you have not submitted a 2021 application, please do so at your earliest convenience to ensure that your student receives a spot on their 1st choice trip. You will need to input credit card information to complete the application but rest assured that your credit card will not be charged for a deposit!

2021 Application

Interested in a different trip in 2021?
If your student aged out of their 2020 program or is simply interested in a different program for 2021, no worries! When you complete the 2021 application, simply select the 2021 trip that they would like to attend!

Unsure about your plans for 2021?
We understand that it’s very difficult to anticipate what life will look like in 2021. As a rollover family we do encourage you to submit a 2021 application to ensure that your student’s spot is reserved for next summer. As no additional payment is due at this time, there is no additional obligation to choose your 2021 trip! If your plans change, we will be happy to move your student to another trip (if space allows) at any time.

Apply trip credit to sibling?
We are happy to apply your trip credit to anyone in your family!

Roll your trip credit to 2022?
We are unable to roll trip credit to 2022. If you are unable to attend in 2021, please see information below regarding refunds. Thank you so much for your understanding during these challenging times.

Withdraw for 2021?
We will continue to offer our rollover families a 75% refund on their trip credit until March 1, 2021. If you submit a 2021 application now and decide to withdraw before March 1, 2021, you will receive a 75% refund.

We are currently planning to run all 2021 programs, including our international adventures. We understand that our ability to run international adventures depends on travel restrictions. These restrictions are changing frequently with no way of predicting what they may be during the summer of 2021. We will continue to monitor the international travel situation and update programs if necessary.
