Learn more about our Florida—Science in Motion Travel Programs!
Our Trip Highlights
Here’s a sample list of some of the many attractions and activities the students will see and do on this trip. This trip is going to be so much fun and the students are going to learn so much!
Disney’s Magic Kingdom®
Even if you’ve been to Disney’s Magic Kingdom® before, you’ve never seen it like this! Participate in behind-the-scenes seminars available only to school groups, like Properties in Motion where you’ll “test” the rides to explore the laws of physics! After lunch, we’ll have plenty of time to take in the shows and other attractions.
Animal Kingdom®
Encounter real and mythical animals while embarking on the Kilimanjaro Safari® across the African Savannah or riding a high altitude roller coaster in Expedition Everest™ to escape the legendary yeti. We’ll have time to explore the park and see the over 2,000 animals that call Animal Kingdom home.
Wild Florida: Conservation Up Close
Explore Florida’s most unique ecosystem and gain a greater awareness of its endangered species. We’ll take an airboat ride, enjoy a BBQ lunch, and then experience the Safari Park Drive-Thru to see over 100 native and exotic animals roaming freely. Expanding across 85 acres of untouched scenic landscapes, our wildlife and safari park presents a unique opportunity to bring you up close and personal with wild animals such as giraffes, zebra, eland antelope, scimitar oryx, American bison, mouflon sheep, and more!
The Health and Safety of our Travelers is our #1 Priority
WorldStrides has been tackling the unprecedented for the last 55 years and our experienced team is leading the way, constantly evolving to meet the ever-changing heath & safety requirements that are imperative for student travel. Even with this changing landscape, the values that underpin our commitment to health and safety remain unchanged: a dedication to scenario and contingency planning that relies on a rich network of partners and a “do-what-it-takes” commitment to respond to whatever the world hands out. Below are just a few of the measures and resources we have in place:
- Expertly trained Course Leaders to guide your group. Course Leaders are destination experts and will help bring learning to life for your students while navigating them through your itinerary.
- Around the Clock Program Support: WorldStrides has staff members who are with your group at all times. Exact safety measures vary by destination but could range from a staff member at your hotel to assist with any needs that may arise to night chaperones that watch the hallways while students are sleeping. In some destinations, we provide 24-hour Course Leaders. That’s all in addition to the support of Doctors on Call and WorldAssist.
- Doctors on Call: our exclusive partnership with the Department of Emergency Medicine at The George Washington University
- WorldAssist: our 24/7 safety and security command center staffed by WorldStrides team members who are specially trained to handle any situation – no matter how big or small.
- WorldStrides Name Badges: provided to all students and printed with the WorldAssist phone number providing direct access to students should the need arise.
Exact safety and security measures vary by destination. Please refer to your program specific materials for more details.
