How It Started
Summit Travel and Tours was initially created to bridge the gap between creating a transformative student travel experience and the overwhelming demand of planning logistics. As a former Title 1 high school dance team director, I have seen first hand what travel can do for students. It enriches their lives, empowers their creativity, and helps them understand the world is much bigger than the bubble they live in.
The first time I took my students on a trip, I was immediately hooked on the planning experience. From there, I knew my expertise could be used outside of the classroom, helping students (and directors!) see the world through customized travel itineraries. After working under a travel agency for a few years, I officially launched Summit Travel and Tours in 2017. And as they say… the rest is history!
My team and I are passionate about creating a curated travel itinerary so that you can also focus on the experience, and know that your students will have once in a lifetime memories from their trip!
