We always send an LCCOA staff member to accompany those who travel with us. If any glitches or problems occur, the LCCOA “tour guide” is always there, on each and every trip. You may travel far and wide, but you are never alone. LCCOA is always there, having just as much fun as you are! Sign up and come along with us!
