What type
of accident insurance does Christian Discoveries carry?
Accident, illness, and accident-related
dental insurance coverage are provided for all participants. Limits
per single occurrence are $7,000.00 for accident, $1500.00 for illness,
and $750.00 for accident-related dental. Any charges not covered
by this insurance are the responsibility of the participant. Pre-existing
conditions and air travel are not covered under this accident policy.
Do you offer land-only
packages?
While we discourage parents and students
from traveling on land-only packages, we do make them available
when necessary. There are strict guidelines for this policy. Ask
your Program Leader or call our Customer Service Department toll
free at 1-800-468-5899 for more details.
How do I register?
You can register three easy ways: (1) complete
and return your registration form (attached to the letter given
by the teacher/educator leading your child’s trip,) (2) contact
our Customer Service Department at 1-800-468-5899, or (3) register
on-line at
www.worldstrides.org/register .
I missed
the registration deadline. Is there still space available?
There is always a chance that space may still
be available and there is no risk to register if you are placed
on a wait list. For faster service, register on-line at www.worldstrides.org/register
or call toll free 800-468-5899. Otherwise, please contact the Program
Leader for a registration form. We will do our best to accommodate
you. If your child’s program is leaving in less than seventy-five
days: (1) full payment is required with your registration, and (2)
your child is automatically placed on a waitlist until it is determined
whether a bus seat and/or airline seat can be secured. In the rare
instance space does not become available, you will receive a full
refund.
If your child registers after the group's final payment deadline,
a late registration fee (10% of the trip cost) is added to the total
program cost.
Can I use
my frequent flyer miles toward the airline portion of my child’s
program?
Due to the nature of group airline ticketing,
frequent flyer mileage can not be used on Christian Discoveries
programs.
Can I get frequent flyer miles for
taking a trip?
Due to group airline ticketing restrictions,
frequent flyer miles are not available for travel on Christian Discoveries
programs.
How many
students are signed up for the trip?
Please check with you child’s Program
Leader for this information. This person will have the most recent
counts.
Can
I change my child’s flight times and destination?
Due to the nature of group travel, we are
unable to change any aspect of the flight, including departure and
return flight times and destinations.
Can parents participate in the trip?
The Program Leader makes the decision as to whether or not parents can participate. There is an additional cost for adults depending on the number of program participants per room:
- 10% of Base Trip Price* per person for a triple (three to a room)
- 15% of Base Trip Price* per person for a double (two to a room)
- 30% of Base Trip Price* per person for a single (one to a room)
To ensure a quality educational experience for the students, some tour sites have strict student-to-adult ratios. Please ask your Program Leader for specific details. Adults are automatically registered two to a room and WorldStrides charges an additional 15% of base trip price. If WorldStrides is unable to accommodate adults in a double room because of group configuration and/or hotel availability, adults are then required to pay a 30% single-room supplement of base trip price. If adults, upon all parties’ approval, are able to share a triple room, WorldStrides will charge an additional 10% of base trip price.

*Base Trip Price = Base Trip Price as stated in the registration letter, or as revised per Program Leader and Account Manager.
My
child is physically disabled; can he/she still attend the trip?
Yes. Christian Discoveries welcomes physically disabled
participants, and makes every effort to accommodate the student’s
needs. Please have the Program Leader contact his/her Account Manager
regarding any special needs so we may work on the necessary arrangements.
We use all major carriers. American, United, Northwest, Southwest, and US Airways are our top carriers.
