Summer Travel Series

Body

It's Jan Term without the homework.

Come see the world with us! You can enjoy a series of educational trips to meaningful destinations designed especially for you: Saint Mary's alumni and friends of all ages from the broader community.

Everyone is welcome! Join us to connect and explore new places with the world as our classroom.

In the summer of 2024, we are excited to host trips to six destinations with experienced Saint Mary's faculty as your guides. Registration is now available!

These friendly, inclusive trips will be led the Saint Mary's way, with small groups and some seminar-style discussions. On these adventures, you'll form unique bonds and make lifelong connections, and that will make the experience all the richer. Learning doesn’t end with your degree!

SMC Student & Koala in Australia

Last year's travelers say:

“It was a truly fantastic experience. The group was great. I would love to do it all over again.”

“I absolutely loved the short history lesson provided before the trip.  It was so enlightening and really helped us appreciate the experience even more.”

“Great pace for multi-age group.”

“Out of all the activities and excursions, I greatly enjoyed the cooking class. Being able to create, learn new cooking methods, and work alongside my peers was very enjoyable. Not to mention, all the food that we created was delicious!”

“We saw so much, we did so much. Far surpassed my expectations.”
