Are the trips chaperoned/school sponsored?
The trips that USA offers are not school sponsored or chaperoned because they take place after graduation. USA does provide a team of adult staff members on site, and a 24-hour staff office is set up at each destination for emergencies and general assistance. Although our staff does not enforce bed checks or curfews, they are present at all of the USA activities throughout the week, and are stationed at the same hotels the students use. The majority is CPR trained, and several are bilingual. Staff members are very familiar with the destinations and our program and are able to assist with most situations.
