SPRING BREAK

Rustic Pathways is proud to offer spring break opportunities to students looking to do something dramatically different with their vacation time. With dates to suit almost every student’s spring break schedule, our spring break programs afford students the opportunity to learn through travel, teamwork, and time spent with their peers.

For many of our students, these programs are where it all begins! It is normal for both parents and students to feel a bit nervous when they first consider the idea of traveling far abroad as a teenager. The nearby destinations and service-oriented itineraries of our spring break programs offer the ideal introduction to traveling with Rustic Pathways.

Unlike our summer programs, students arrange their own airfare to and from their destination and all of our spring break offerings are very accessible from any location in the continental U.S. Best of all, students really affect positive change on the individuals and communities they serve, often returning home empowered and eager to continue giving back. Many students who complete a spring break program choose to sign up for a summer trip to one of our international destinations, often with friends they met through Rustic Pathways.

Our spring break programs are extremely popular and tend to sell out early, for more information about each of these programs please check the links below.
