While FAM itineraries are customized for advisor education, several closely follow existing Intrepid trips, including Central America, Christmas Markets, and Peru Trek.

Hosted by Intrepid, Designed for Advisors

All general FAMs will be hosted by members of Intrepid’s Partnerships Team, giving advisors direct access to the people behind the product, as well as deep insight into how Intrepid operates on the ground with local leaders and communities.

Participation fees for general FAMs start as low as $550 CAD, with a portion of every fee donated directly to Intrepid Foundation partners in the destination visited. In total, Intrepid expects to donate more than $18,000 CAD to local community organizations through the 2026 FAM program.

One Application, Multiple Opportunities

New for 2026, Intrepid has streamlined the process with a single application covering all FAM opportunities. Advisors can select which trips they are interested in, reducing duplication and making it easier to express interest across multiple destinations. A disclaimer is included for trekking-based trips, such as Peru.

All U.S. and Canadian advisors are encouraged to apply, regardless of consortia or partnership affiliation.

What Advisors Gain Beyond the Trip

“Our 2026 FAM program is about giving advisors real, firsthand insight into what makes Intrepid different,” said Caroline Tinley, Head of Partnerships, Canada at Intrepid Travel. “By experiencing our trips on the ground, advisors gain the knowledge and credibility to match clients with the right destinations and travel styles, while also supporting the local communities that make these journeys possible. It’s an experience that benefits everyone involved.”
