For 170 years, the Smithsonian Institution has inspired generations through its steadfast dedication to the “increase and diffusion of knowledge.” In a globalized world, it is more important than ever to promote the Smithsonian values of Discovery, Creativity, Excellence, Diversity, Integrity, and Service. This is why the Smithsonian, in collaboration with Walking Tree Travel, a premier service-focused student travel provider, is pleased to offer a new collection of dynamic programs for high school students - Smithsonian Student Adventures. These educational immersion programs highlight our shared mission of learning and discovery, and offer a unique opportunity for travelers to explore the world in a meaningful way. Smithsonian Student Adventures uncover the genuine culture of each destination and inspire students to take an active role in their local and global community. We partner with schools to provide memorable small-group experiences, and invest in cultivating and maintaining long-term relationships with our partner communities. Our Mission is to inspire students to become global citizens by taking an active interest in the world around them. We achieve this by providing international travel programs in the areas of cultural immersion, wildlife conservation, and leadership development. Smithsonian Student Adventures (SSA) offers a curious and compassionate approach to travel. Unlike a typical tour, our programs are designed for a select group of high school students and their teachers who seek an authentic international experience that offers the opportunity to effect positive change at home and abroad. Smithsonian Student Adventures is operated by Walking Tree Travel under license from the Smithsonian Institution.
