Common questions
Is this a ranking of the best programs?
No. Summer Programs Guide lists every qualifying program it finds and sorts it by True Price per day. It does not judge quality or safety.
What is True Price?
True Price is Summer Programs Guide’s estimated daily cost of a teen summer program. It adds required fees, excluded meals, estimated internal flights, and required insurance to the published price. It subtracts estimated round-trip airfare when included, then divides the adjusted total by days on the ground to compare program costs.
Do companies pay to be listed?
No company pays to appear or to be listed higher, and referral fees never change the order.
How often are prices checked?
Every program's price and dates are checked on the operator's website each month, and the page shows the date of the last check.
What does True Price leave out?
Airfare to and from the program, and gear you must bring. Where a price already includes those flights, True Price subtracts a dated fare estimate so every program is compared without them.
