Goal

The goal of the Cal Discoveries Travel Program is to provide the University of California community with an exciting combination of discovery, learning and adventure in educationally oriented travel. All participants are expected to enjoy traveling as part of a group and to be tolerant of the occasional changes, delays or minor mishaps that are part of any kind of travel.

Program

The Cal Discoveries Travel Program is designed from proposals by specialized wholesale tour operators. Whenever appropriate, we add Cal-specific components; faculty lecturers, visits to research sites, contacts with other Cal Alumni groups, pre-departure briefings and special events, etc. All participants are expected to enjoy traveling as part of a group and to be tolerant of the occasional changes, delays or minor mishaps that are part of any kind of travel.

California Alumni Association is registered as a California Seller of Travel (registration number 2090031-50).
