At Peak Group Travel, we know that student trips are more than just exciting getaways—they’re powerful learning opportunities that create lasting memories. But we also understand the biggest question on every educator’s mind: “How can we make this trip affordable for every student?”
Cost shouldn’t be a barrier to learning beyond the classroom. That’s why we work directly with schools and educators to make student travel accessible, manageable, and inclusive—so no student is left behind.
Planning with Affordability in Mind
We start by helping teachers and school leaders build a realistic, cost-effective trip from the ground up. Whether your group is traveling to New York City, Washington D.C., or beyond, we tailor every itinerary to your budget while still delivering an engaging, high-quality experience.
Our transparent, all-inclusive pricing ensures there are no surprises down the line. That includes transportation, accommodations, meals, guided tours, and even built-in educational components that support your curriculum. You’ll know upfront what the trip includes—and what it doesn’t.
Fundraising That Works
One of the most effective ways schools can make travel more accessible is through group fundraising. We’ve worked with thousands of schools, and we’ve seen firsthand what works. Here are a few creative, school-friendly ideas that help raise funds and build school spirit:
- School-Wide Events: Host talent shows, trivia nights, or silent auctions with prizes donated by the local community.
- Product Fundraisers: Tried-and-true classics like popcorn, candles, or cookie dough still deliver results—and we can connect you with reputable vendors.
- Restaurant Nights: Partner with local restaurants that donate a percentage of their profits on a specific night to your trip fund.
- Online Campaigns: Many schools have had great success with digital crowdfunding, where students share trip goals with friends and family through social media.
We’re happy to provide fundraising templates, flyers, and tips to help promote your efforts across your school and community.
Encouraging Equity Through Sponsorships
Many educators also work with PTAs, booster clubs, and local businesses to secure sponsorships or financial assistance for students in need. We can help you put together polished outreach letters or fundraising packets that communicate the educational value of your trip—and how local support can make a difference.
Every trip with Peak Group Travel is a chance to engage your broader community in supporting student growth and enrichment.
Flexible Payment Options for Easier Planning
Our flexible payment plans are another way to make travel manageable for families—without putting pressure on schools. We offer monthly installment plans, a secure online payment portal, and automated reminders to streamline the process for your group. This helps you stay organized and keeps students and parents on track without adding to your workload.
You Bring the Passion. We’ll Handle the Logistics.
As a teacher or trip leader, your focus should be on inspiring students—not juggling the details. That’s where we come in. From planning and budgeting to fundraising support and on-the-ground logistics, Peak Group Travel is your dedicated partner every step of the way.
We understand that for many students, this trip may be their first time traveling—and it’s our mission to ensure it’s an experience they’ll never forget, no matter their financial background.
