The Emerald Chaperone Travel app is an educational field trip companion phone app for Chaperones traveling with Emerald Student Travel. The app uses basic screens to display a travel itinerary for our various travel destinations. While on a trip with Emerald Student Travel company, Chaperones can use the app to see the various attractions. The attractions are listed in alphabetical order and are different for each trip that we take. Our schools work with an Emerald Student ambassador to identify and book specific attractions for their students. As a special treat, some specific attractions have a hidden scavenger hunt of questions which encourages groups of students to work together with their Chaperone to locate answers. The content of the app is entirely curated using educational text written by our teacher chaperones. The app is not for selling or gaming. There are no in app purchases. There is no recording of any phone or user data. The app writes no data to long term storage, the app collects no statistics or phone information. This app is for educational purposes only. It is meant to be used by Chaperones traveling with Emerald Student Travel.
