Friends     Teams     School Events
Travelling with friends, a team, a class from school or any kind of group can foster some of a person's most memorable and enduring travel experiences. Hostelling International has over sixty years of experience with hosting groups of all kinds, and we have succeeded in creating an atmosphere of international community, camaraderie and learning that is unique within the travel world.

Hostelling 101 for School Groups
With an overnight stay at any of the hostels in our network, students will be exposed to the unique travel environment of other peoples and cultures from around the world. In addition, our staff of experienced hostel travelers will educate them about the world of hostelling.  Students will learn safe travel tips and will receive a free junior HI membership which entitles them to discounts on activities, transportation, restaurants and other services across Canada.
