Fun, immersive travel experiences for members

Modern Woodmen Travels are so much more than discounted, hassle-free trips. This unique fraternal program offers members the chance to be part of something bigger. Like a supercharged chapter experience, these trips take Modern Woodmen’s fraternal mission of fostering community to the national level.

Members across the country create lasting memories while:

  • Enjoying a variety of activities that promote personal growth, camaraderie and fun.
  • Connecting with other members and feeling part of the broader Modern Woodmen community.
  • Reconnecting with those who matter most as they discover, explore and escape the everyday.

Past trips include cruises to the Bahamas, Alaska and New England/Canada as well as land-based destinations, like Colonial Williamsburg, Costa Rica and Las Vegas.

Trips are open to all Modern Woodmen members and their guests. Age and other requirements may apply, depending on the individual trip.
