Welcome to the Special Excursions Travel Club. Based in Southern California we provide escorted tours and vacations for our members in a safe and friendly environment. There are no member- ship dues or fees.
You do need to be 18 years of age to join and have a developmental disability. Most of our members are in Supported Employment, Supported Living, Independent Living, Workshop and Residential Programs in the Southern California area. To apply for membership all you have to do is fill out the 2 page application form and the medication list and send it in. If we have not worked with the individual who is applying then we will schedule an interview.
We do recommend that before a brand new member who is unfamiliar with everyone signs up for a cruise or other overnight trip that they participate in a few day outings so they get to know other club members and will feel part of the group. It makes it easier to pick and choose who they would like to go on vacation with. Those day trips include Hollywood, The Long Beach Harbor Cruise, Universal City Walk and those train rides up to Carpinteria State Beach and Santa Barbara. This also allows our new members to get to know the tour escorts and of course the escorts get to know them.
We have a couple of methods of arranging tours for our members. Choose from our scheduled escorted tours listed on the tour page. All you have to do is sign up.
A tour that our members put together and we do the coordination and escort the group.
To see where we are going take a look at the tour page.
