We Welcome Your Application to Join Us!

We build each of our groups with care, keeping the groups small (no more than twelve students), and paying close attention to age, grade, gender, and the mix of hometowns and schools. Our goal is to put together great groups — groups where nice kids thrive in a supportive, wholesome, and caring environment. Please note: availability as shown is based on students traveling without a friend; if your child is interested in traveling with a friend, please call our office for availability.

Travel Protection Plan1

As trip payments to Overland are non-refundable after March 1st, we recommend that all Overland families purchase a travel protection plan.

We offer a travel protection plan from Trip Mate. You can view detailed information about the plan at www.tripmate.com/wpF434B or by calling Trip Mate directly at 833-297-2255 and referring to Plan #F434B. You can purchase this plan directly through the Overland Family Portal.

Please note these two important deadlines:

  1. The basic travel protection plan must be purchased at the time of (or before) your final payment.
  2. Trip Mate offers a supplemental Cancel for Any Reason (CFAR) benefit that must be purchased 60 days prior to the start of the trip (CFAR is not available to residents of New York state).
