Field trip groups usually number around 20 per trip. All amenities, including lodging, food and transportation are planned far in advance in order to assure a safe, comfortable, and structured stay. Optional side trips to tourist destinations, such as the ruins of Tikal in Guatemala or Machu Picchu in Peru, are also included.

FAQ

What is the typical field trip itinerary?

A field trip typically begins with a weekend departure out of Salt Lake City with a return flight the following weekend. We spend 2 to 2 ½ days with each Mentors partner organization we visit, meeting with local leadership and their clients. This will be interspersed with some history and sightseeing of the area. On the last day or two, the itinerary usually includes a visit to a featured tourist destination.

What is the Cost?

The anticipated cost starts at $2500 per participant, depending on the destination countries (based on double occupancy and departure from Salt Lake City). This cost covers airfare, transfers, hotels, entrance fees, breakfasts and lunches.

When is Mentors' Next Trip?
