Where and when are the pick up/drop off locations?

Can I come with a friend?
The most rewarding part of a Rein Teen Tours summer is making new friends. While we do allow friends to travel together, Rein Teen Tours makes each tour a cohesive family. Along with safety and supervision, group dynamics is a main focus each day of our trips! Whether our travelers come with a friend or come alone, we strive to ensure that each teenager thrives socially.
Can I pick my roommates?
Most hotel rooms accommodate 2-3 kids per room and every teen is guaranteed his/her own bed. For the first stop of each Mini Tours series, we make the rooming assignments. After this first stop, you may pick your roommates. You can change for each and every stop on your tour!
Can I bring my cell phone?
Yes, we allow cell phones. To ensure that cell phone use doesn't interfere with your experience, we have cell phone policies that we will share with you and your parent/guardian prior to your departure.
Who are the counselors and how are they trained?
We hire the BEST staff! We interview, reference check, and perform background checks on all of our eligible applicants. We hold a mandatory orientation each spring where our staff is trained on how to create the greatest summer for our teenagers, with a focus on group dynamics and safety. The majority of our counselors are in their mid-to-late twenties to early thirties and most return summer after summer. All of our staff live in the U.S. and are certified in CPR and First Aid.
What if I get sick while on tour?
Rein Teen Tours has relationships with medical facilities in all the areas we visit. In addition, each tour director has a file with every teenager’s medical history. If a doctor’s visit is required, your parent or guardian will be notified and you will be chaperoned by a same-sex staff member. During the visit, parents/guardians will have the opportunity to speak with the medical provider.
How do you handle allergies and special dietary needs?
We are able to accommodate teenagers who have allergies and dietary needs. Prior to the summer, all tour participants are required to complete a detailed medical history. If you have a particular allergy, please call the Rein Teen Tours office so we can discuss an allergy action plan.
Do I have to participate in an activity that makes me uncomfortable?
We will never force you to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. However, we encourage our teenagers to participate in all activities. Touring is a great opportunity to step out of your comfort zone and try something new and exciting.
