Can parents join a WorldStrides program?

If your child's school or organization welcomes parents to join the tour, you can attend by registering for the program as a full paying participant by the established deadlines.

How do I register for a tour?

You can register online at our Registration Page or register through your group's personalized trip site. You will need your group leader's last name and Trip ID.

Can my child not participate in a portion of the tour?

Students are not allowed to skip an activity during the course of the program. Your child is allowed to come early or stay beyond the dates of the program; however, this extension would affect your cost of the trip. In cases of individual student extension we require parents to sign a Termination of Responsibilities that releases WorldStrides' from responsibility of care after their child has departed the group.

How are disciplinary problems handled while on tour?

WorldStrides, the Program Leader (teacher or coach), and adult chaperones establish behavior rules and directions for all student participants. Failure to abide by the rules or directions may result in the student being sent home at the parents’ expense without any right to a refund. All program participants are responsible for their own actions at all times, and the Program Leader and adult chaperones are held accountable for the action of everyone in their group.

Is there a minimum age for program participation?

All travelers on WorldStrides programs must be 6 years of age or older at time of departure.

When registering my student, am I considered a parent or an adult?

If you are not traveling on the tour, you are considered a Parent and/or a Responsible Party when registering. If you are traveling on the program, you will also be considered an Adult traveler.

What happens if I register past the deadline?

Any participants registering after the deadline are placed into a waitlist process, and late registration fees are applied. Your account is in pending status until cleared for travel. For more details, please contact WorldStrides Customer Service .

What happens if our group doesn’t meet the minimum number of participants?

Your group price is quoted based upon a minimum number of travelers, as well as the program content included in your registration materials on the date of registration. There may be price adjustments if the minimum enrollment is not met, the program content or itinerary changes, or in the event of circumstances beyond WorldStrides’ direct control.
