The Kindersley Community Travel Club has good news! The government has lifted the travel advisory, allowing them to go ahead and plan their Easter tour to Berlin, Prague, Krakow, Budapest and Vienna! The Kindersley Community Travel Club is community-based, and is not associated with the school. The tour group usually consists of adults travelling with or without their kids and students who come on their own.
Heidi Marchant, a teacher at Kindersley Composite School, said, “Travellers who enjoy learning about WWII and have wanted to visit Auschwitz concentration camp will enjoy this tour.” It offers a good combination of history, good food and beautiful landscapes.
The tentative tour dates are April 13-15, 2022, with a cost of $5,584 for adults and $4,964 for students. A payment plan is available, allowing monthly payments until 30 days before the tour. The itinerary, as well as other information can be found at www.eftours.ca/2395138pd
“This type of travel is perfect for people who prefer not to do all of the extensive planning that an international tour requires. All transportation, admissions and accommodations are included, as well as daily breakfast and lunch,” Heidi explained. “Each day is planned with a good mix of free time balanced in to explore!”
The tour currently has twelve spots available, and enrolment rules are first registered - first served. It is a community tour, open to travellers from other communities in Saskatchewan. Heidi said the minimum age to travel without a parent is Grade 9, but they’ll accept younger students if their parent or another adult accompanies them. No matter what your age may be, as long as you’re in good health and are willing and able to walk many miles every day, you are more than welcome to join the tour. Heidi noted this tour is a good fit for anyone wanting to travel in a safe and fun way in a private setting.
“It’s great to see people of all ages who didn’t necessarily know each other come together and become friends over their shared experiences!” Heidi said. “We look forward to seeing the world again and would love our students to be able to expand their world views on a tour during their time at KCS!”.
