Review from a parent...

August 19, 2024by: KALVIN BRISTOL - United States

Program: Curaçao: Marine Biology Adventure

Kalvins trip to Curacao this summer was his second Broadreach trip. As a parent, I can say that this program is top-notch and you are giving your child a world of opprotunities by sending them on a Broadreach adventure. Both years my son has come back with so much personal growth. He matures mentally, intellectually, and physically on these trips. As a 14 year old, he was intimidated by the college coursework this summer but excelled at it largely inpart to good instruction. I am thankful for the opprotunities that Broadreach provides, he is already booked to go to Yucatan next summer!

The Adventure of a Lifetime

Program: Seamester Study Abroad and Gap Year Voyages

Seamester was the adventure of a lifetime. I went into it not knowing how to sail but wanting to learn, and came out of it not only with that knowledge, but also with memories and friendships that will last a lifetime. It pushed me out of my comfort zone and taught me so many new things about myself. The staff members were amazing with their teaching and support, especially when times got rough. Their diligence ensured we all made it safely across the pacific. I also loved the places we visited, with my favorites being the Galapagos, Mo'orea, and the Panama Canal. The class schedule could be challenging at times, and waking up for watch in the middle of the night was definitely not my strong suit, but overall I had an amazing semester. I couldn't recommend Seamester enough and I'm so grateful for this wonderful experience.
