SUMMER TRAVEL PROGRAMS LIFE SKILLS


Rustic Pathways programs are more than simple touring adventures in the world’s most exotic locations. Many of our trips involve gaining real life skills that challenge students to grow and learn as they travel.

Whether you study photography while traveling through the remote reaches of rural Burma, learn about Buddhism in Thailand, take part in a filmmaking class in Bollywood, or gain a scuba certification while diving in the tropical paradise of Fiji, you’ll go home with a solid set of new skills and gain experience that will boost any resume or college application.
