“Connor could not say enough about the trip-his group, the leaders, the culture, the activities.  It was all he hoped for and more!”

– Parent of Connor W. Salt Lake City, UT

ARCC offers eighteen summer programs on six continents. All of our programs are designed for students who are engaged, motivated and excited for new experiences. Whether it’s working side by side with villagers on a construction project, learning how to SCUBA dive or helping to protect endangered sea turtles, ARCC students are often faced with exciting new challenges and opportunities for growth during these summer programs. All ARCC programs are designed to be fun, educational and meaningful.

While ARCC Summer programs accommodate students completing 7th to 12th grades–not all programs are available for all ages.  Some programs are open only to high school students finishing 9th to 12th grades.  When we do have programs with a broader mix of ages, we place students in groups only with comparably aged peers. Each age group has a unique itinerary and, other than the first and last days of a trip, younger and older groups rarely see one another.
