Overall great time. Packed schedule which is double-edged gamble: do a lot vs. feeling well rested. Important to have realistic expectations of timeline when travelling in other countries (norms are different), and important to have flexibility in itinerary when travelling in a group. Itinerary may look pretty packed before getting started, but by the end, due to group dynamics, you may miss out on several things. Although we have little control over country norms, it is important to have a little more consistency with groups' expectations. 'Pole pole' is acceptable local behavior, but should not be expected of the tourist group that has limited time to do what was planned. Overall friendly group, and good organization.

This trip was fantastic! Kay, Sly and the chaperones were great! The trip was organized and well planned out. I felt very comfortable leaving my child is their care. The daily language classes were awesome and the afternoon excursions were super fun! I loved that the whole trip was very thoughtful in exposing the children to the local culture and food. My daughter really enjoyed the experience and the residence was very well-located. Kay and Sly were also communicative and welcoming. They were very open to include family that was in the area and engaging with the group. I would highly recommend Rooted Journeys by the Mom Trotter! I am looking forward to seeing what the next summer adventure will be!

Our kids had a wonderful time at the summer camp in Tokyo! Kay and Sylvester took great care of them, as though they were their own children. They packed the schedule with so many great activities and were sure to include learning and cultural immersion in the process! We would definitely recommend the camp to other families! Thank you for the experience!

Overall, very good trip. My son really enjoyed it, especially the class. The school and teachers were great! Kay and Mr. Sly were wonderful, and I fully trusted them with my child, so far away from home in a different country. The outings were good. My only feedback would be a smaller group, or split the younger and older kids into groups.

This trip was everything we expected: learning, fun, discovery and friendship! It was an amazing experience as a family to discover Ghana, its history and its present. Being in a group in which everyone was up for discovery made it even more fun. We are so grateful we were able to go and can't wait for the next trip!
