has been tempting travellers away from the "package" holiday approach and into the world of active and exciting small group adventure holidays. This is the world of Trek America - the specialists in "off the beaten path" adventure travel across the Americas.
In 1972, Trek America pioneered small-group adventures in North America. After all these years they still believe it is the best way to see this amazing continent.
Plane, train and bus passes seem inexpensive when compared to a tour, but Trek America is far more than basic transportation. Also included are national park fees, activities, attractions, overnight accommodations, local transportation in each area we visit, camping equipment, and the services of a professional tour leader.
Consider renting or buying a car and hitting the open road. We agree driving is the only way to go, but adding up the costs and factoring in the hassles and wasted time, you will find Trek America to be 'the best deal on wheels'.
Just as importantly, they are experts at getting you 'off the beaten path', including national, state, and provincial parks, wilderness areas, and wildlife refuges, that are most times very difficult, if not impossible, to reach via plane, train or big bus. They not only eliminate the hassles and the wasted time from your holiday, but will also make it your adventure of a lifetime...
Sign up for a 2007 after camp travel programme with Trek America and mention that you heard about the programme through Camp America and you will receive a 10% discount. They offer fantastic packages for young adults to travel the states in a fun and friendly atmosphere.
