KCSC Road Trippers

Road Trippers 

A year-round program of guided day trips, arts and history museums, local tours, animal encounters, and seasonal celebrations.

Why we do this: Road Trippers exists so older adults can keep exploring, stay connected to community, and avoid the isolation that so often comes with age. Every trip is priced to be affordable, so cost is never the reason someone stays home.

What's included: transportation, a planned itinerary, group meals, and guided access to each destination.

Each trip below has its own itinerary, cost, and registration deadline.

Payment & cancellation policy

Full payment is required at registration

To keep our day trips as affordable as possible, we secure reservations and pay our vendors in advance — reserving tour dates, attractions, and dining ahead of time.

Because these arrangements are prepaid on your behalf, we're unable to offer refunds for cancellations.

We appreciate your understanding — it's this policy that lets us keep offering enjoyable, reasonably priced trips like this one.
