For 25 years Overland has given thousands of students the opportunity to explore the world.

But it wasn’t until I watched my son, Luke, go off on an Overland trip that I fully understood the intense and often conflicting range of emotions that parents experience. You’re so proud of your child’s independence, so eager for him to embrace the world’s opportunities and so hopeful for his success. And yet, you worry about a lot of things—safety most of all—but also about the quality of his leaders, and the wholesomeness of his group.

My promise to you is this: I will plan your child’s trip and prepare your child’s leaders as carefully as if I were doing so for a child of my own. I have always believed in the value of the Overland experience… now I know it firsthand and value it even more. I invite you to do the same.
