Welcome to Loop, a travel abroad program for high school students. Our summer program, Plight of the Thai Elephant, takes place in Chiang Mai, Thailand.

The first week, we live at the Elephant Nature Park. Students have the chance to interact one-on-one with the big guys all day.

Week two, we move into the city and discover Thai culture and how culture impacts conservation. Everything we've learned comes together when we spend our third week visiting sanctuaries and getting out in the wilderness, including a 2-day jungle trek.

In our last week, we volunteer on the magical Journey to Freedom Project, helping the hill tribe re-locate elephants to the wild.

This spring, we're offering two spring break trips to Cambodia. In March and April, we'll be exploring the stark beauty and rich history of Cambodia. Join us as we explore Angkor Wat, teach English in a small orphanage, and volunteer at the new Elephant Nature Park reserve in Cambodia!

The Politics of Travel (or "Why we don't travel to Bangkok")

As travelers, we know that exploring a new place means lots of unknowns. And travel in any big city, from New York to London to Beijing, means being involved, however slightly, in the political arena.

You may have noticed that we've been moving some things around on the site over the past few days. If this has annoyed you in any way, trust us, we feel your pain. The good news is that we're done tinkering-- for now. And the exciting news is that we've added a Google Talk feature to the site. So, if you have a question while you're on the site, just click the Google Talk button on the lower left and ask away. If we happen to be offline, you can still message us via the 'Contact Us' button just like before.
