Your journey begins here.

For twenty-five years, Broadreach has taken students on life-changing learning adventures all over the world. In those years, I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what makes a journey and what makes it different from just an ordinary adventure travel trip or family vacation. What makes us so unique?

In my mind, it’s our attention to detail and our goal to provide truly transformational student experiences—building journeys that are exceptional so you come away with much more than just photos, souvenirs and amazing memories. You face real and exciting challenges and learn things that shape who you’ll become and where you’ll go in the years to come.

I’ve always envisioned Broadreach as something much larger than a single program or summer adventure. To me, it’s a journey that will introduce you to the endless opportunities that exist in the world, encourage your passions and goals to come forward, create lifelong bonds of friendship and develop skills and knowledge that become stepping stones towards your future accomplishments.

When you look through this brochure and read about the different programs we offer, try to picture your path. What does it look like? Where will it lead you?

Do you have dreams of becoming a marine biologist, veterinarian or doctor?

Would you like to see how far you can take your scuba, sailing or photography skills? Is there a particular language, culture or place you want to connect with?

Maybe this summer will be the start of a new path, one that builds over more Broadreach summers to come. Or maybe you’ve been with us before and are ready for the next level of learning and adventure.

Here’s to your great journey, wherever it may lead.

Carlton Goldthwaite Founder www.gobroadreach.com
