Teen Summers

Culture & Service Samplers (8–12 days)

Perfect for a first overseas leap, these shorter sessions base in Bali’s artsy hubs like Ubud. Days bounce between temple tours, traditional dance classes, and youth-friendly volunteering—think teaching English in village schools or helping with basic health-education workshops. Evenings end with coconut curry dinners and reflection circles that prep teens for deeper travel later on.

Reef-to-Rainforest Expeditions (12–18 days)

For eco-minded high-schoolers, combo itineraries split time between under the sea and inside the jungle. Teens might transplant coral fragments in crystal-clear bays, then jet to Sumatra for orangutan-spotting treks and reforestation work. Expect rustic lodges, mosquito nets, and brag-worthy conservation hours logged before sophomore year even starts.

Leadership & Public-Health Immersions (2–3 weeks)

Aspiring doctors or global-health buffs can shadow local clinicians, assist in preventative-care campaigns, and compare traditional Balinese healing with modern practices. Projects often rotate through several rural communities, giving travelers the chance to practice leadership skills while forming genuine bonds with host families.

Multi-Island Homestay Adventures (3+ weeks)

When your teen is ready to unplug for real, extended programs weave through multiple islands—maybe Java for shadow-puppetry workshops, then coastal Lombok for marine-biology dives. Homestays push language skills and cultural comfort zones, while sea-kayak journeys or volcano hikes keep the adrenaline flowing. By the farewell feast, participants feel less like visitors and more like honorary relatives.
