Our History
In 1993, former educator (and flight attendant!) Robin Parker united her passions for travel and learning in a new venture. Her hard work and belief that travel plays an essential part of a comprehensive education gave way to Kaleidoscope Adventures.
More than 30 years later, Kaleidoscope has a stellar reputation for being a leader and driving force in the student travel industry. We are proud to share that we have been the catalyst for more than 275,000 life-changing travel experiences for students!
