WHAT A TEAM!

We at OPI wish to provide an actual experience of the world and one’s life that is an adventure—a way to realize that life can be a continuous journey in which we can seek adventure and excitement in healthy and stimulating ways.

We also want to help our Participants:

  • Appreciate their innate values that make each one of them special
     
  • Develop a sensitivity to the needs and points of view of others
     
  • Recognize the importance of qualities such as tolerance and patience--- qualities that can be gleaned from interacting with other people in unique circumstances

Travel can be a tremendous opportunity to meet these goals.

This is why we offer Participants---together as a group or with their families---a natural experience of being with others, an opportunity to experience a sense of shared adventure and pleasure through customized trips arranged by San Francisco-based Geographic Expeditions.

For our trips, Geographic Expeditions provides the travel leaders and OPI staff members are available to help members glean the most they can from these intimate experiences.

Geographic Expeditions, a pioneer in adventure travel, offers a sensational and varied roster of overland tours, walking trips, treks and expeditionary voyages to the world’s most beguiling places.

Travel and Leisure Magazine has recognized Geographic Expeditions as one of the “World’s Top Ten Tour operators and Safari Outfitters” in its annual “World’s Best Awards” issues. Conde Nast Traveler also honored the company by including three of its Regional Directors in its 2003 listing of the “125 Greatest Travel Pros on Earth.”

Half or more of its business comes from customized trips and the company is much sought after as location and logistics managers for movie companies, museums and academic institutions.

Geographic Expeditions provides travel services for more than 4,500 travelers a year sending groups and individuals to every continent.

Then, because we feel that adventure and journey is continuous throughout our lives, we extend an invitation to past Participants and their families to join us on reunion adventures with Geographic Expeditions in order to:

  • Reconnect
     
  • Re-establish internal balance
     
  • Reaffirm the values and commitments that were cultivated during their time at OPI
