Australia & New Zealand Gap Year Semester Program
Service learning, expedition and educational travelIn brief
New Zealand and Australia are two of the most ecologically intact and diverse countries in the world, and this experiential travel semester offers an amazing immersion during the temperate southern hemisphere spring and summer months.
It combines three, week-long service-learning conservation projects in diverse national parks and marine reserves; five multi-day outdoor expeditions including backpacking, canoeing, rock climbing and surfing; and educational adventure travel through New Zealand and Australia’s stunning mountain, forest and beach environments.
Facilitated by our supportive and experienced Program Instructors, this is an excellent study abroad or gap year option for students wanting to develop personal and leadership skills, have new experiences and challenge themselves, be immersed in unique environments and learn about sustainability.
This program can be combined with Summer, Fall, or Spring program options in other regions of the world (Central America, South America, Southeast Asia) for an in-depth and enriching global gap year experience.
