 I’m really excited that your son or daughter is considering travelling with S-Trip!. Each year, we have the privilege of joining thousands of Canadian students as they develop their independence, celebrate their academic achievements, and have fun with their classmates on one of our domestic or international tours. I want to take the opportunity to answer some of your questions by telling you more about our trips. I invite you to contact us directly if you have any further questions.
S-Trip! [Student Trip] started as a division of a full-service travel agency in 1976 and quickly developed an award-winning reputation in the travel industry, based on strong relationships with partner airlines, hotels, and tour operators, and a passion for providing great customer service. Today, S-Trip! has become one of Canada’s most dynamic youth travel companies by relying on those same core values. Our goal is to create an exceptional, fun, memorable, and safe travel experience.
Our focus is on creating tours that balance cultural experiences and quality time spent with friends. On our tours, students visit ancient pyramids and cities; they experience Canadian history in our dynamic cities; they visit jungles and eco-parks, swim with dolphins and snorkel in crystal clear water. In the evenings, on some of our tours, students enjoy exclusive concerts and shows with other students from all across Canada. We hope that all students leave our tours with new friends, a broadened experience, and a stronger sense of independence - and hopefully a little wanderlust too!
Student safety is paramount for us. Our tours are fully staffed by Trip Leaders, including Canadian High School teachers, who understand the delicate balance between safe supervision and fun. Our staff is closely involved during all components of the trips: they’ll accompany students through all travel, and attend all events and activities throughout the week. In case of emergency, our staff is nearby for students and parents at home to contact easily. Most of our trips include RBC Classic Medical Travel Insurance to accommodate for unexpected incidents. |

Because student holidays are among the most popular times of year to travel, we start the booking process as early as possible. Our relationships with our travel suppliers offer us special discounts for early booking; we pass these savings on to our groups so that tours are fun and inclusive. In addition, booking early allows payments to be spaced out over the span of a year, making it easier to budget and plan for the trip, especially for students who will be working part-time to fund it.
Our staff will be holding a meeting with your child’s class to provide them with more information about their grad trip. Please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.
We look forward to having your son or daughter travel with us!
Sincerely,
Alexandre J. Handa
