Legit, good experience for the kids, but a little pricey. I see it a lot on the scholarship applications that come through - it's nice, but not a deal-maker or a deal-breaker as far as awarding scholarships. Don't let the "it'll make him a shoo-in for a scholly" pitch be a deciding factor.

My son went to Australia with them last year. Lot of money, but they help fundraising and organizing the locals. He wants to go on another, but we will probably wait a year then send him again. He was 12 last year.

My son went to Australia ten or twelve years ago. Fantastic trip; great experience;still talks about it.

Only difference is he was in high school, not elementary as your post suggests.

Well-run outfit. Good kids that went, too.

I went with P2P to Australia in 2000 and it was one of the best two weeks of my life. My younger sister went with them to Europe and loved it. Overall a great experience, but yes, pricey.
