Dear Travelers and Friends,

Thank you for your interest in our vacation

packages for 2014 and early 2015. 2014 marks

the 23rd

year that Able Trek Tours’ has been

offering vacations for people with special needs.

We feel so fortunate to be a part of these positive

travel experiences.

We strive to provide vacations that offer a variety of different

opportunities and rewarding challenges for our Travelers. It is

impossible to satisfy each person’s interests, budget, and schedule, but

we strive to make travel a reality for as many people as possible.

As always, our vacations are designed to enlighten and expand each

Traveler’s view, to encourage Travelers to discover and pursue leisure

interests, to increase Traveler’s self-confidence, to connect with new

and old friends, and of course to HAVE FUN! Our vacations are also

designed to promote independence and choice, with safety as our

number one priority.

We hope you will join us again, or for your first time, as we experience

what we feel is an essential part of a well-rounded life…….VACATIONS.

Sincerely,

Don Douglas

Founder/Director

ABLE TREK TOURS, INC.

**************************************** WHO ARE ABLE TREK TRAVELERS?

Individuals who need assistance vacationing are encouraged and

welcome to travel with Able Trek Tours. This includes individuals

with developmental disabilities, the elderly, the mentally ill and

others. Most Travelers are individuals with mild to moderate

developmental disabilities. Travelers must exhibit good social

behavior, have no major medical concerns, be at least 16 years old,

and display appropriate behavior toward property, themselves and others. Typical staff to

Traveler ratio is 1:3 or 1:4. If a Traveler requires more assistance and/or supervision

we MUST be informed of such needs ahead of time.

TRAVELERS USING WHEELCHAIRS: We have accommodations for up to two Travelers who use wheelchairs

on most trips. It is our experience that nearly all Travelers in

wheelchairs require Traveler specific, “specialized” care. Their

caregivers must be both physically capable of and trained in the

techniques of transferring and lifting. In addition, most wheelchair bound Travelers have

very individual and specific personal care needs – needs that can only be properly met by

a caregiver who has experience with that Traveler. In order to properly and safely

accommodate Travelers who use wheelchairs, we have adopted the following policy:

1) We require that wheelchair bound Travelers bring their own (1:1) personal

aid with them on trips. To help make this policy more affordable, the

personal caregiver will travel at ½ the cost, meaning the Traveler will pay

the regular rate (double occupancy) and their aid will be 50% of that rate.

2

STAFFING ON TOURS All vacations are supervised by our owner, Don Douglas, and/or at least one Tour Leader

employed by Able Trek Tours. Before establishing Able Trek Tours in 1992, Don was

the Executive Director of Wisconsin Badger Camp, an organization that offers

recreational camping/outdoor experiences to people with developmental disabilities. All

other staff members are carefully screened and selected volunteers and/or qualified paid

staff. Many of our staff are social workers, teachers, group home staffers, and other

qualified and experienced people.

Typical staff to Traveler ratio is 1:3 or 1:4. If a Traveler requires more assistance

and/or supervision we MUST be informed of this need ahead of time. Please be

aware that care/supervision on vacations is typically more intensive or demanding than in

the home setting. We will do our best to accommodate a Traveler’s needs in excess of

our normal staff supervision. However, if a Traveler requires 1:2 or 1:1 supervision an

extra fee will be required. In some instances we will require that Travelers bring

their own staff. As stated previously, this is the policy with most wheelchair bound

Travelers.

FREE WORKING VACATION OPPORTUNITY – Group home staff, caregivers,

case managers, etc. if you sign three or more people up for a trip you can go for free as a

chaperone. Contact Able Trek Tours for more information.

PERSONAL ESCORTS At times Travelers and caregivers simply do not feel comfortable

attending a vacation without a familiar face along. This situation has

been common for Travelers who may need more assistance than our

normal 1:3/4 ratios and many wheelchair bound Travelers. We

welcome, encourage, and will at times require that personal escorts

join us. The cost for such an arrangement (for BOTH participants) is

typically 150% or 1 ½ times the cost of the indicated DOUBLE rate.

For example, the May 16 – 19, 2014 “Wisconsin Polka Festival” trip would cost

$1,042.50 ($695 X 1.5). Please call for guaranteed prices.

PICK-UP/DROP-OFF LOCATIONS Virtually every vacation offers pick-up and drop-off sites in Dubuque, IA, Platteville,

Madison, Milwaukee, Stevens Point, Allenton, Waupaca, Appleton, Oshkosh, Fond du

Lac and Wisconsin Dells. Additional common rendezvous sites include: LaCrosse,

SPECIAL PICK-UP OPTION A special pick-up of six or more people may be provided for

a community or area not listed in our regular route. To

arrange for this option the request MUST be made at least

45 days prior to the trip start date. This option may or may

not require an additional fee (call our office) and IS NOT available for one-day tours.

BUS/AIRPORT GREETER OPTION Travel arrangements to and from the Able Trek pick-up/drop-off sites can be difficult to

arrange. We will work with Travelers and caregivers to arrange for our staff to meet

participants at the Madison Greyhound Depot and/or Airport or at the Wisconsin Dells

Greyhound or Amtrak Depot. We may also be able to assist with accommodations and

staffing the day before or the day after trips. Since all Travelers do not need these

services an additional charge may be required.

TRIP FEES INCLUDE Staff supervision, transportation from pick-up/drop-off sites, listed

attractions, lodging, taxes, an Able Trek t-shirt, a group photo, and many

meals are included in the trip fee. Almost every trip includes breakfast

and the evening meal each day.

TRAVEL/CANCELLATION INSURANCE COVERAGE Travel insurance, for an additional fee, is available for all tours. Contact Able Trek Tours

to request travel protection information. We can send you the information via US mail,

email, or you can download the information from our website. Coverage includes: trip

cancellation, emergency medical/dental, and more. Rates start as low as $20.40 per trip.

PAYMENT PLANS AND PRE-PAYMENT To help make our vacations more financially feasible for Travelers, we offer interest free

payment plans for most tours. At least 70% of the trip fee must be paid prior to the trip.

The remaining balance can be made in monthly installments of $50 to $100. This can

help make vacationing affordable for many. All payment plans must be pre-approved by

Able Trek Tours. Payments can be in the form of checks, money orders or by credit card.

payment(s) in advance and decide on a trip later.

ACCOMMODATION/SLEEPING OPTIONS

Overnight accommodations on most trips are well known hotel chains. We offer an

option with regard to sleeping arrangements. They are:

DOUBLE ROOM – Two people per hotel room, each person has a

private bed.

QUAD ROOM – Three or four people per room with Travelers

likely sharing a bed.

SINGLE ROOM – Private hotel room with no roommates.

Prices for each type of room are indicated in the tour descriptions. The prices indicated

are per person. Travelers MUST let us know their accommodation choice when making

the reservation and/or by indicating such on the Traveler application. Over 90% of the

Travelers choose the DOUBLE ROOM option.

If requested, we will attempt to place a staff member in the room with a Traveler. While our staff will monitor and assist all Travelers, direct 24-hour supervision (a staff in

each room) is not feasible. Travelers’ rooms are typically adjacent to a staff member’s

room. We reserve the right to place a staff member in any room if we deem it necessary.

MEALS AND SPENDING MONEY Most trips include all breakfasts and all evening meals. The

number of meals included is stated in each tour description in

this booklet. Meals not included will be paid for with the

PASSPORT REQUIREMENTS A PASSPORT is now REQUIRED to travel anywhere

outside the United States - this includes Canada

and Mexico. A PASSPORT BOOK (about $100)

allows you to travel internationally via any

means (air, land, water). A PASSPORT CARD

(about $45) allows travel internationally by LAND

ONLY. If you have any plans to travel outside the

United States we suggest you start the process of

securing a passport. The process is easy, but it

will take up to 6 weeks, so don’t delay. To apply for either type of passport log on

to www.travel.state.gov or call 1-877-487-2778. Passports are valid for 10 years.

TRAVEL & TRIP CANCELLATION INSURANCE Although insurance is not required to attend a vacation, we recommend that

Travelers consider purchasing Travel/Cancellation Insurance. We especially

encourage Travel Insurance for any trip including air, cruise, train or international

travel. These particular vacations have very restrictive and expensive financial

cancellation penalties. Cancellation insurance can protect your travel investment

from unforeseeable events such as sickness, injury, or death of you, an immediate

family member, or that of your traveling companion. In these cases your trip

payments can be fully refunded, minus the cost of the insurance. This can be

great peace of mind and save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Without

Travel Insurance you will be subject to the cancellation penalties indicated on

page 25 of this booklet. The insurance also includes limited medical and

emergency medical evacuation coverage during your vacation.

The cost of the Travel Insurance varies depending upon which plan you choose,

but ranges between 5-10% of the total trip cost. To purchase or to receive more

detailed information about the Travel and Cancellation coverage please contact

Able Trek Tours. We can send you the information via US mail, email, or you can

download the information from our website. For coverage of any pre-existing

medical conditions the insurance MUST be purchased within 7 days of your initial

trip deposit or payment.
