The benefits of international programs have long been known to provide an ideal avenue to offer education out of the classroom into the heart of the subject whether it be foreign language instruction, biology, geography, or outdoor education.

Core Expeditions believes in an EXPERIENTIAL education where students not only gain academic benefits, but also life skills.

We can help you design a FRESH program that MOTIVATES students to CHALLENGE themselves, BROADEN their social and cultural awareness and BUILD their confidence. Core school programs will satisfy your institution's objectives, fulfill the needs of your students and meet the demands of your budget.

The success of a program relies on the following key ingredients:

LOCATION: Ecuador's biological diversity offers a range of sites that would satisfy even the most eclectic of programs: from world renown biology research stations, famous artisans, award-winning community projects to unique cultural festivals.

QUALITY INSTRUCTION: Core's highly sought after instructors and guides have led National Geographic expeditions, achieved first river descents, trained in teambuilding initiatives, and have worked specifically with teen age groups in outdoor education. All our trip leaders are certified in Wilderness Medical Rescue. Trip Leaders are chosen for their level of expertise in a given region or activity, and have the ability to provide exceptional personal service.

RISK MANAGEMENT: Travel, whether to an urban area, nearest National park or across the ocean involves risk. Our risk management protocol is built on ANTICIPATION, PREVENTION and PREPARATION. A qualified trip leader can minimize potential hazards and provide risk management when unfavorable circumstances arise. Core Expedition has been a leader in providing internationally recognized certification courses to guides in Ecuador, not only for the quality and safety of our own trips, but also to raise the standards of guiding in Ecuador.

“Perhaps most impressive is Cary's ownership of each trip. He personally does his best to make sure that everybody is enjoying their day. Another great attribute is Cary's wide range of skills. One day he was leading our student on a sea kayak trip around the Galapagos Islands. A few days later he was trekking with our students up to the base camp of Ecuador's famous Cotopaxi volcano. Any group would be fortunate to work with Cary and Core Expeditions. They are very professional and personable and go out of their way to cater each trip to individual group needs.”
