Summary:
The existing body of knowledge within the field of experiential education is reviewed in relation to its potential for use in secondary school study tours.

Anthropological and archaeological goals for the tour are suggested and a blend of experiential and pedagogical teaching and assessment strategies are presented for use by travel studies coordinators who would attempt such a tour. A logistical lesson plan is presented for consideration in offering the study tour for academic credit.
