Academic Treks programs combine adventure, hands-on learning, community service and international travel. Programs focus on marine science, language immersion or cultural studies and qualify for college credit and community service credits.
Academic Treks, a division of Broadreach, offers college-accredited summer adventures abroad for high school and college students. Backed by over a dozen years of experience in running educational programs for thousands of teenagers, Academic Treks combines the finest elements of experiential learning, traditional classroom learning and service learning with wilderness adventure, international travel and cultural exchange to create extraordinary expeditions.
On each dynamic journey, students explore unique environments and cultures while studying marine science or a foreign language or embarking on an intensive community service adventure. Each course includes an important community service component, and several include a significant emphasis (up to 55 hours) on service work. Academic Treks students are fully immersed in an educational experience in a real world setting, gaining a global perspective and hands-on understanding of the topics studied. They also get a head start on college by earning academic and/or community service credit and by building a host of skills they will use both in school and beyond.
Interwoven in the Academic Treks experience are the themes of teamwork, leadership and personal growth. Together with your team of 9–12 adventurers, you will take on challenges, master new skills, build confidence and gain insights into yourself, the world around you and your role as a world citizen. You will leave with a sense of achievement, an awareness of your own potential and an acceptance of different ideas, beliefs and cultures.
Join Academic Treks this summer for an unforgettable adventure. Bring a thirst to learn and have fun, and a desire to open your heart and mind to new people, places and experiences. See the world in a different light, achieve things you never thought possible, make lasting friendships, and learn by doing and experiencing with incredible environments as your classrooms.
