We’ve been successfully organizing this trip for over 40 years, and Junior Tours has been creating great experiences since 1976!
Our tour guides stay with the group for the entire trip and offer a personable experience!
The other trip uses different guides and may even combine with other unrelated groups for various activities.
Our trip is less expensive than the other trip, which is run by a large tour corporation.
We still stay in wonderful accommodations!
Our group has crafted clear expectations for behavior and group safety over the last 40 years. We go over these expectations on multiple occasions to ensure a successful trip!
This trip is the original East Coast trip experience that was first offered at our school in 1976. The trip leaders have been very selective in choosing successors and chaperones over the years, resulting successful trips for 40 years.
For the 2025 trip, our East Coast Trip took ninety four students and six staff chaperones. Two full buses!
After having chaperoned with the Original Trip a few times and wanting to chaperone again, the trip leader for the other trip decided to start a competing East Coast trip.
In one instance, the other trip has allowed students to ride electric scooters unsupervised.
For the 2025 trip:
The other trip took students from a different school on the same trip.
This trip was also chaperoned by two related teachers and two of their adult children.
For the 2024 trip:
After not meeting the minimum student participants, the other trip had to cancel their original plans, taking the eight students who signed up and joining the itinerary of an unknown school from another city.
The trip was planned to be two days shorter, removing Gettysburg and Philly from the itinerary, while still costing $500 more.
