FAQs
What does a typical day look like?
1
Each day will have a different rhythm, with a balance of shared experiences, independent time and space to slow down. Teens may take part in planned activities while parents join in, work remotely or enjoy time on their own.
This is a slow-travel journey, not a packed tour. Families will have the freedom to choose which experiences they participate in, with plenty of time to rest, connect and explore at their own pace.
What kind of accommodation and food are included?
2
Families will stay in a mix of locally selected guesthouses, homestays, farmstays or shared villas, depending on the region.
The fee includes one shared meal per person each day. Meals will include a mix of traditional local food and familiar continental options, with choices shaped around the group’s preferences and dietary needs.
What happens after we apply?
3
Once you apply, we’ll invite you to an online conversation to get to know your family, answer questions and explore whether the Caravan is the right fit.
We are intentionally keeping the journey small to about 5–6 families so that it feels personal, flexible and community-oriented. Families who are selected will then receive the next steps, payment details and preparation information.
What does the Caravan cost per day?
4
For the four-week journey, the program works out to approximately:
Family of 2: CAD $100 per family per day, or $50 per person
Family of 3: CAD $136 per family per day, or about $45 per person
Family of 4: CAD $171 per family per day, or about $43 per person
This includes accommodation, one shared daily meal, transportation during the Caravan, curated local visits and coordination.
