PURCHASE TRAVEL INSURANCE:

FOR YOUR SAFETY AND COVERAGE, 

WE REQUIRE THAT YOU PURCHASE COMPREHENSIVE TRAVEL INSURANCE THAT COVERS YOU FOR THE DURATION OF THE TRIP. 

YOUR INSURANCE MUST COVER: 

  • Trip delay, interruption, or cancellation

  • Baggage Loss or Delay

  • Medical Expense up to $50,000+

  • Hospitalization

  • Emergency Evacuation

  • Basic Sports and Adventure Activities.

Booking travel on credit cards can offer some travel protection, but it is insufficient for our purposes. You must purchase additional travel insurance to be eligible to participate in the program.

PLEASE NOTE: We highly recommend "Cancel for Any Reason" insurance. Several past participants have needed to cancel their trip last minute due to family emergencies or unexpected medical issues. We are not able to refund program costs last minute in such an event, this coverage prevented significant loss.
