WHY experience
it yourself?
Before you plan it,
experience it.
Choosing a travel partner is a big decision.
You want to know what your students will experience. You want to understand how the days flow. You want to know what it feels like to travel with ACTS.
​
That's exactly why we offer Familiarization Trips.
SEE IT
Experience the destinations, attractions, hotels, meals, transportation, and programming firsthand.
LIVE IT
Travel alongside real students and see an ACTS Education Program
through their eyes.
KNOW IT
Return home with the confidence and firsthand perspective you need to facilitate your school's Education Program with ACTS.
This isn't a sales demo.
It's the real thing.
A Familiarization Trip isn't a behind-the-scenes presentation or a shortened version of an ACTS program.
​
You join one.
​
You'll travel with a real school and real students, stay in the same hotels, experience the same meals and destinations, and see an ACTS Education Program in action.
​
You'll see how students engage with the experience - and how our team serves educators and students along the way.
“The best way to understand an ACTS program is to experience it.”

Depending on the Program you join, your Familiarization Trip may give you the opportunity to experience:

An Investment in Your Future Program
We believe the best way to build a lasting partnership with you as a Group Leader is to let you experience ACTS for yourself.
​
That's why ACTS covers much of the cost of your Familiarization Trip.
Your final participation cost will depend on the length and type of program you join.
