Trip Start – Build-Up, Preparation, Nervousness, Excitement
As any Overland student knows, preparing for your trip can be a bit nerve wracking. Whether you’re embarking on Berkshire...
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.

When to Apply
The flow of applications starts in July and peaks in January/February. Some groups fill by the December holidays, and others will have space into the late spring. Our advice? Apply as soon as possible — it only takes a few minutes — and we’ll get to work right away to find a great spot for you.

Summer 2022: Admissions Update #3
Here in Williamstown, we’ve been enjoying the buzz in the Overland office as we work with families to find trips that are a great fit for their children. Trips have been filling faster this year than in any past year. We’re glad that students are eager to get outside for another fantastic Overland summer! We’re already looking forward to a summer filled with new friends, gorgeous sunrises and sunsets, laughter, singing, and storytelling.
Visit the Overland website and look at the icons next to each trip (available, limited, and waitlist) that indicate availability. We work with each family, though, to find the best fit for their child. We want to make sure there are students of the same age in a group, and that it’s a great mix of kids from across the country. We do our best to have the website reflect available space, but cannot guarantee a spot on a trip until we receive and carefully review each child’s application. To know more, please reach out to us: info@overlandsummers.com.
One of our students once described Overland as a gift. We couldn’t agree more: a gift of adventure and exploration, of friendship and fun. Join us next summer, and see for yourself the gifts Overland offers you.
Feel free to contact us anytime (413-458-9672) to discuss trip options—we’re always happy to chat!
