After you enroll, we’ll ask you to provide or update your personal information and preferences, which includes your health information, lodging and meal preferences for your program.

YOUNG LEARNERS: Parents / legal guardians are required to complete the Parental Consent Form. PLEASE RETURN ALL FORMS IN ADVANCE OF THE PROGRAM. We will turn the forms in as a group. Our address is: Road Scholar, PO Box 56033, Boston, MA 02205-6033, or submit a digital copy of the signed forms to rswestprograms@roadscholar.org. One or more of the meals on your program must be pre-selected. For your convenience, we have created an online form that can be filled out on any mobile device or computer. The link can be found in the Recommended Websites section of your pre-program information packet. We expect it will take less than 5 minutes to complete. At the bottom of the form there is a submit button. After submitting your form, you will have the opportunity to “submit another response” if you are traveling with someone in the same household. This form must be completed 14 days prior to your program start date. If we do not receive your submission prior to this deadline, meals will be selected on your behalf by Road Scholar based on any dietary restrictions listed in your Personal Information and Preferences form. Late submissions will not be accepted and meal selections cannot be changed after the 14-day deadline. Thank you for your understanding.

United States citizens don’t need a visa for any of the countries you’ll be visiting. Non-U.S. citizens should refer to their country's requirements to ensure they have the necessary documentation for travel.

A signed Parental Consent form is required for this program. The form must be signed by both parent(s)/legal guardian(s) of the child participating in the program and returned to the program provider prior to the start of the program.
