New “Summer Academy” Gives Students Perfect Way to Beef Up Resumes
[author:Explorica Public time:Apr 3, 2006]

Explorica, a leading educational travel company, today announced the expansion of “Summer Academy,” a program for Canadian high school students that combines classroom work with hands-on experience and total immersion in exotic locations such as China and South Africa.

Knowing resumes are of utmost importance, the Explorica Summer Academy offers high school students the chance to enhance the marketability of their educational accomplishments by travelling on one of 15 programs starting this June.

“Students today need to stand out, not just with education, but with experience,” said Olle A. Olsson, Explorica Founder and President. “The best way is by seeing the world, and Explorica offers the chance to learn first-hand in the most cost-effective, secure and technologically advanced way – something traditional summer camps can’t offer.”

This year, Explorica’s Summer Academy includes the following new 2 to 3-week programs:
• Empires of the Past: European Cultures from London to Athens
• Surfers’ Paradise: South Pacific Cultures
• Maya All Your Dreams Come True: Central American Cultures
• Fant-Asia: Comparative Asian Cultures
• Southern Exposures: South American Cultures
• Come Out Of Your Shell: Costa Rica Sea Turtle Rescue & Conservation
• From Pizza to Parthenon: Cultures of Italy and Greece

These itineraries are additions to eight launched last year. Existing Summer Academy programs are destinations to China, South Africa, and five language programs in Italy, Spain, France, Mexico and Costa Rica. The itinerary for each program mixes touring and educational training, and are competitively priced starting at $3,320. Offering the industry’s only full cash-back cancellation policy, Explorica arranges for students to study subjects like foreign language, natural science and conservation while staying in handpicked hotels, established campsites or university residences.

Explorica's hallmark is to combine the best of traditional student travel with top new technology to improve every aspect of the travel encounter – from researching, planning, and booking, to paying and actually taking the trip. Through its unique online approach, all relevant information is available on its website, www.summer-academy.ca, including automated sign-up and extensive travel details.

With 150 years combined experience in education-led trips, Explorica partners with credited, approved and licensed travel operations and language course operators. Security is a primary focus, as students are accompanied on each program by chaperones and Tour Directors who have extensive experience in the travel industry.

Explorica’s exclusive online Tour DiaryTM posts photos and journal entries for family and friends to track student activities. Each day, parents can log onto a personalized TourCentreTM to follow their child’s trip chronicled by the Tour Director.
