[quote=Anonymous]I chaperoned a HS and a Jr. high trip through People to People. I am a teacher at the elementary level so I never had to "advertise' to get kids but I know other teachers had to. My trip was completely paid for, which is nice though it was still a bit of work doing pre sessions prior to the trip and then hands on during the trip. The company coordinated everything though including busses, guides, food, etc. The kids got to do some unique experiences, like doing a home stay, scaling down a castle wall, taking a cooking class and also in the process making friends and having isome independence in a foreign country. We combined kids and chaperones from the metro area so there were new people to meet. Many of the kids are still friends today (there is a Facebook group). Some of the kids raised money through their church, one girl worked at Panera to pay for her trip and some parents were able to fully fund, it rant the gamut. At the high school level, most kids were quite well behaved and just all around great kids. The jr. high kids were also great but just harder. At the end of each day most kids were pretty tired so there weren't too many shenanigans (that I knew of). [/quote]
