Loved the food options, lots of variety. A great mix of relaxation, fun, and education. Jeremy is absolutely professional, fun, attentive, engaging, and everything you would wish for in a tour director! I can not recommend using this program for school trips enough! It was a wonderful balance of fun and education for our students. It created an experience that will last them a lifetime and that they will remember fondly for years to come! Thank you so much!

Seriously - nothing could have gone better. It was such a wonderful experience. The way you were able to accommodate our late additions and families is so impressive.  Thank you!!! I think the students and parents really felt like the trip was first class and worth the cost. IMJ would be my first recommendation to any school.

I have heard nothing but good things from the kids. Cam said it was the greatest spring session the school has run yet. (Cam's mom also sent an email letting me know how appreciative she was of the consideration for Cam's dietary restrictions). Angela said it was the best possible way she could think of to wrap up her senior year at CHCH.

Variety was great; amount of activities we squeezed into four days was great. I loved the challenging and fun nature of the big hike at Section 16, the whitewater rafting, and the horseback riding. It was nice to mix in some lower-energy activities that allowed the kids a bit more sense of freedom, like the hot springs, and Manitou Springs.
