The cost of the trip depends on the location you choose! Our programs are all inclusive. No matter which program you choose, the trip cost includes all of your accommodations, food, adventure activities, in-country transportation, materials, and extras. The $1,000 non-refundable deposit is also included in the program cost. The deposit is good for a lifetime! We understand that circumstances can change, so if you have to cancel your trip, well will hold your deposit to use in the future. Just make sure to give us at least 90 days notice.
We know that travel and study abroad are a big investment and our promise to you is that we will work hard every day to make sure you have the most amazing experience, best staff, tastiest meals, an excellent itinerary full of the best activities and the meaningful hands-on experience that you are expecting. With the exception of international airfare, our trips are all-inclusive. We won’t try to upsell you on any “additional activities” or “additional optional activities” that are advertised as part of the program. Your tuition covers: All activities. All materials. All meals. All housing. Everything. We want students to participate fully in every activity and every learning experience without thinking about how much additional money they are going to spend.
After you have been accepted to a program, your $1,000 non-refundable deposit reserves your space on that program. Spaces fill up on a first-come, first-served basis so it is important to pay your deposit to secure your spot on a trip. You must pay your remaining program balance at least 60 days prior to your departure date.

In certain situations, we understand that students will prefer to make their own international travel arrangements, such as when aative has a discounted fare available or frequent flyer miles they want to use. While we can accommodate such requests, we strongly encourage students to fly on the group itinerary. In some situations, students who apply very late in the season may be required to make their own airfare arrangements when group seats on escorted flights are no longer available. We will still be happy to assist in finding the best available flight option.
Group flights are arranged only as a convenience. Therapy Abroad works with Student Universe to provide group flights with incredible flight flexibility, allowing changes and deviations, layover flexibility, and refunds for flight cancellations.

Our team will help manage your reservation from beginning to end. Traveling with your group is also a great way to get to know your team and make sure you have others to support you during your travels in case of unexpected delays or other issues.
