How safe are Overlands programs?
Our small groups (of no more than 12 students) and outstanding leaders (there are always two with every group) help to ensure the safe operation of all of our programs. Overland’s leaders are committed to the careful supervision of their students at all times. In addition, every language leader has Basic First Aid, CPR and lifesaving certifications and excellent language skills. Each leader completes a week of leadership training prior to the trip start, and every group carries at least one cell phone during the program. In over 25 years of operating trips, we have an superlative safety record.
