"TCKs from all over the world can get a running start on transitioning to North America and life beyond at Transit Lounge!
We hold both our younger and older programs in the beautiful state of Georgia at Covenant College. We also started holding another Older teen program at SAGU in Dallas, Texas in 2022.
We are pleased to offer a 5 day program specifically for TCKs who still have a few more years before high school graduation, or will be returning to overseas again. For those who will be 12-17 years old by July, this retreat will focus on more age appropriate issues. We’ll leave talk of preparing for college and independent living for the other seminars. Instead, we’ll focus on the issues that matter to life in middle school and early high school for cultural transplants.
However, if this option will not work out for you, we regularly make exceptions for younger teens to participate in the older program.
For more than 30 years, Interaction International has been coming alongside Third Culture Kids/TCKs and MKs, through our Transition Retreats. We’ve had over 1500 TCKs attend our programs.
Our program staff has decades of experience working with TCKs. Our combined staff experience includes working and/or living in over 50 different countries.
