If you're longing to taste adventure, eager to immerse yourself in a new culture or just in need of a spot of good old-fashioned relaxation, come join us. We've got a whole new kid-free way for teachers to travel the world and we think it could make your year...click here for more info!
What's It All About?
At STC Expeditions, we’ve led a LOT of school trips in our time. While each is unique, there’s always a common theme: the teachers have just as much fun as the students. Which made us think – adventurous, eye-opening travel isn’t just for teenagers, so why not ditch the kids altogether? Don't worry, we're not stopping school trips, but our new range of out-of-the-classroom experiences will take you places you might only have dreamed of and they’ll show you the world in a whole new light. All the while giving you a much-needed break from being the responsible adult.
You could just go on a regular holiday, of course. But we think our trips are a bit more your thing. For a start, the price covers everything – including flights and accommodation as well as properly exciting activities and the expert guidance of a local STC Expedition Leader to help you really get under the skin of your destination. The point of these trips is getting involved and living the adventure. There’s no watching from the sidelines here. You’ll go home with plenty of stories and most likely a new spring in your step.
Who's Invited?
STC Escapes groups are like-minded and companionable, made up of teachers and their partners. Join as an individual or invite your colleagues. You can expect about 15 to 20 travellers in total. Whether you come along with colleagues or meet new friends from other schools, you’ll have plenty in common. It’s our way of capturing all the fun we see teacher groups have on our school expeditions while giving you the opportunity to be properly selfish. No need to be the grown-up, minding your Ps & Qs and acting in loco-parentis, this is you-time for diving into a whole new experience, jolting you out of the day-to-day and having an adventure that could change your perspective on the world.
