Academic Treks goes above and beyond other teen summer programs. Our experiential adventures are literally life-changing. How?

While exploring new places and embarking on experiential education adventures, our participants learn valuable and defining life lessons that are as meaningful, perhaps more so, than those learned at school...lessons that will benefit them long after their program is over. In addition to lifelong friends, new skills and college credit, students on Broadreach programs come away with a strong sense of achievement, a broader understanding of our world and a greater awareness of their own potential and future goals.

Students on Academic Treks tell us they:

• Gain confidence, a greater sense of self, initiative, personal responsibility and their role as global citizen
• Develop leadership skills and a better ability to work within a team
• Open their minds to different ideas, beliefs and cultures

The numbers tell the story! From a survey sent to 5000 alumni spring 2009, 96% of our alumni would recommend Broadreach and Academic Treks to a friend and said their experience was truly positive even life changing, while 98% said our instructors were supportive and caring role models who helped them reach their goals.
