Distant Destinations is a Boulder, Colorado company that specializes in student and family travel with a strong emphasis on community service. Now in its tenth year of operation, Distant Destinations has planned and implemented trips for several hundred students and their families to such destinations as East Africa, Fiji, Thailand, Costa Rica, and Panama.

Community services projects include the collection and distribution of textbooks and educational supplies, building of school desks, construction of houses for Habitat for Humanity International, and teaching English in rural schools.

Distant Destinations' trips are off the beaten tourist track, and each trip focuses on building the mind, body and spirit of the participants. Students learn the history and culture of a region, are actively engaged physically, and contribute to the well-being of the host culture we interact with.
