What’s Up can be a fun way to gain a little insight into your teen’s trip! But we do want to share out expectations with you regarding What’s Up so you know what to expect. The updates are really not intended to be anything more than a fun way to follow a trip. Please understand that they are not meant to be a key communication tool between parent and child. Updates may be posted more or less frequently based on a number of factors ranging from the availability of computer equipment to internet connections and time constraints. Although it can be hard, we ask that you are patient when waiting for updates. We believe that the priority for our program staff should be their group, course goals and safety, and we feel certain you agree. Their days are full and action-packed from 6am to 11pm nonstop with up to 14 teens, and sometimes this can delay posting the updates. Please do not call our office when updates are missing.
Our Caribbean Course Directors will write and post the updates for each group this summer, as they will be in contact with your teen's boat throughout their program. Each group's Whats Ups will be different... Some updates will be longer and more informative than others based on the group's location and daily activities. Updates will vary in length from just a few sentences to a couple of paragraphs. While we would love to post daily updates, we cannot post them on a regular basis due to the challenge of finding reliable internet connections in the Caribbean. The Caribbean Course Directors will often post several updates at one time in order to backfill daily postings. Please try to be patient, and understand that updates will sometimes be missing or even 7 to 8 days late. Eventually, you'll get the opportunity to see all the entries, and they will still be fun to read even if the news is a few days old!
You can receive an automatic email notification whenever a new update has been posted for a trip. We have already added the "parent email address" provided to us on your application to our What’s Up notification system. You can add names onto My Broadreach or you can drop us an email at friendsandfamily@gobroadreach.com with the name of the participant, trip code and any email addresses you want added.
We hope you’ll enjoy What’s Up! Broadreach teens have some incredible adventures!
