GEEO participants are mostly made up of American educators of all grade levels. Each group tends to have a good mix of educators in their 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, and 60’s. About half of our participants travel alone and do not know anyone in the group prior to the trip. We group single travelers of the same gender together as roommates, unless a participant prefers to pay an additional fee for their own room. If we have an odd amount of one gender, we will rotate the single room for free among the participants.
GEEO trips are open to all pre-Kindergarten to University teachers, school staff, school administrators, and soon-to-be teachers pursuing their teaching certificate. Our programs are also open to retired educators. Non-American educators are welcome on our trips.
Our participants are also permitted to bring along non-educator friends or family members. All participants must be at least 18 years of age (except for family programs) and of adequate fitness level for the chosen program.
Our trips are filled on a first-come, first-served basis. We announce new programs every fall and spring via our newsletter. You can sign up for the mailing list at the bottom of our home page or by emailing travel@geeo.org.
GEEO also runs private group trips for specific schools and school districts. Please contact us for more information.
