WHY TAKEAN EDUCATIONAL TOUR?


When living with a host-family, the language you are learning quickly becomes more than words in a school book! Meet local people and have an excellent opportunity to practice the language in real-life situations.

Host families are chosen with the utmost care for their kindness, hospitality and lively personalities. All families have been referred by someone already part of the host-family community.

Homes are regularly visited to assure that a safe, clean and comfortable environment is provided.

Students are placed 2 and sometimes 3, per family. You will receive a detailed description of your families about 2 - 3 weeks prior to your visit.

WHY do a family-stay program?

DRESS APPROPRIATELY!


Since the price of the trip includes all the food , pocket money is at the discretion of each family.

First stop is at a Money Exchange. Only change enough for the trip. It’s costly to change money back to dollars. Only use Canadian money. Traveler's checks / Cash / ATM Card

Use which ever you feel most comfortable giving to your son/daughter.

L’argent de poche


Les cellulaires (Cell Phones) The use of a cell phone in Canada can

be very pricey. Check with your carrier to determine

fees per phone call/text.

* Recommended to use an App like WhatsApp but works only when connected to WIFI.

Decide how/when you will get in contact.

Each group leader from each school will give you her cell phone # in the event of an emergency.


Et si…? (What if…?)

Q: What if there is bad weather the day of departure?

A: We will be closely monitoring the weather in the days leading up to the trip. All updates and communication will be done via email. If weather threatens the day of departure, we would delay our departure time accordingly.



Q: What if there is bad weather the day students return?

A: We will be in contact with the tour company and bus company to determine the best course of action. We would either leave early or delay the departure time from Québec.



Q: What happens if you are delayed coming back?

A: I will send text a message to parents via their cell phones to alert them of any delay or our arrival.



Q: What if my child gets sick or hurt?

A: The chaperones will first contact the parent to discuss the situation and decide a course of action together. Prométour has an on-call doctor in the event a student needs to be seen. In emergencies, we would certainly call 911 and seek medical attention immediately.



Q: What if my child takes a regular

medication ?

A: Students who take a regular prescription

medication are required to complete a

Medical Authorization form for each

medication. The parent shall then provide the

chaperone with enough medication for the

trip. The chaperone will then dispense it to

the student as prescribed.



Q: What if there is a discipline problem on the trip?

A: In the event of a serious discipline issue, the chaperone will contact the principal and student’s dean to inform them of the situation. Depending on the type of discipline problem, an appropriate course of action will be followed.
