Broadreachers venture to every corner of the planet to sail and scuba dive, study sharks, master languages, preserve fragile ecosystems and help local communities thrive. But don’t just pick a destination that sounds cool. Try to envision where you see yourself when the boat returns to port and the summer comes to a close. Do you want to speak conversational Spanish or French? Do you aspire to become a certified diver, a master sailor or a Wilderness First Responder? Every Broadreach experience is designed to teach you new skills and challenge you to achieve great things. Our programs will inspire new ideas and awaken passions you’ll continue to explore. Return home with incredible stories to tell, lifelong friends, and a deeper appreciation for the world around you and all the amazing opportunities that await. http://www.gobroadreach.com/summer-programs-for-high-school-students.asp
