    Hotchkiss x Strive Successes:

    • Two Flagstaff, Arizona altitude-training and service-learning programs
       Students explored the American Southwest while training at 7,000 feet and engaging in community service projects carefully selected to match the school’s values.

    • Upcoming March Immersion Program in Peru
       A fully custom-designed experience combining cultural immersion, service-learning partnerships, adventure, and student-athlete training — built in collaboration with Hotchkiss faculty to support global citizenship, leadership, and personal growth.

    Hotchkiss chose Strive Trips because of our professionalism, educational craftsmanship, risk-management infrastructure, and deep understanding of student development. We are honored to continue serving their community and proud to use our shared work as a model for other institutions.
