EF's experienced group leaders will be cruising the Norwegian fjords, swimming in the Dead Sea, experimenting in a Tuscan cooking class and exploring the Great Barrier Reef. And it's not too late to join them.
There is still time for EF Group Leaders* to enroll on EF's Teacher Convention Tours for next summer.
EF's Teacher Convention Tours, offered through our Global Rewards program, give experienced EF Group Leaders unprecedented opportunities to explore the world's most amazing destinations with fellow educators.
The summer 2010 tours still open for enrollment are:
Scandinavia (July 6-15, 2010)
Embark on a journey to the heart of Scandinavia, where the pulse of a vibrant, cosmopolitan culture beats amid breathtaking natural scenery. Begin your adventure in Stockholm, home of Sweden’s famous Vasa, a 17th century warship. Next, travel to Norway and visit Oslo and Aurland, where you’ll take a leisurely fjord cruise to historic Gudvangen (photo above).
Israel (July 7-16, 2010 and July 20-29, 2010)
Explore historic Israel! From the eclectic Bauhaus-style of Tel Aviv’s architecture to Nazareth, Bethlehem, Qumran (home of the Dead Sea Scrolls) and everywhere in between, you’ll gain a truly in-depth look into the monumental role Israel has played throughout history. Cap off this amazing experience with a camel ride, a “swim” in the Dead Sea, and more.
Tuscany (July 13-23, 2010)
Quintessential Tuscany is captured in the fresh cooking, excellent wine and rolling green hills dotted with fragrant olive trees. Immerse yourself in all that the region has to offer with a Tuscan cooking class, Chianti wine tasting, a trip to an olive farm, and visits to Florence and Siena. This tour also introduces you to the wonders of Rome, including the Vatican.
Australia (July 14-25, 2010)
Travel down under for a one-of-a-kind experience! From Sydney’s grand opera house to its harbor bridge, you’ll leave no stone unturned on this comprehensive tour of Australia. Enjoy a harbor cruise to see the capital from a panoramic perspective and then take a chartered boat to the Great Barrier Reef. Add the extension to Fiji for a trip you’ll never forget!
Our most popular Teacher Convention Tour—Kenya Safari—is already filled up for 2010, but stay tuned, because we will be announcing convention destinations for the 2010-11 school year soon, and there most likely will be another African convention in summer 2011.
