Programs
How much time do you have? What are your interests? Whether you spend a semester or a week on a Winterline program, you will visit extraordinary places, experience new cultures, learn new skills and find out something important about yourself. And you’ll have an awesome time doing it.
Gap Year
Our most popular program! You’ll travel the world, visiting 10 countries over 9 months… you’ll learn 100 new skills, from defensive driving to entrepreneurship and scuba… you’ll try new things, meet different people, see amazing sights. You can stay on track and earn college credit. You’ll be challenged, you’ll get sweaty, you’ll work hard. And at the end of your journey, your most important discoveries may be about yourself.
Semester Programs
Your semester with Winterline may be the most enriching educational experience of your life. You’ll learn skills that you’ll draw on for your entire life … at the same time you are exploring the world, with new cultures, new adventures, new experiences. Our Semester programs are as rich and fulfilling as our Gap Year programs – only shorter, to fit your schedule.
Summer Programs
Winterline summer programs bring a sense of exploration and discovery to a more focused area of interest. Each program lets you pursue a passion, or get a taste of something that might become a career path. Or not. One thing is certain—you'll know more about yourself than when you started.
