ActionQuest BVI Summer Adventures for Teens

I have been a participant, staff member, and parent of several youth adventure/educational programs. AQ is at the head of the pack in all the above categories. Kudos for not "leaving well enough alone" but instead adopting new ways to further improve an already-great program. Some might say I'm biased in favor of AQ since I'm a former staff member as well as a current/recent customer. I say that gives me a unique perspective with more insight into the program than most. AQ continues to lead the way in innovation, transparency, educational focus, and just plain fun--all in a safe environment for teens. I had no hesitation sending my son to AQ, and I will continue to recommend the program to others. It's not inexpensive, but it's worth every penny. This was a significant investment for me and my family, but I have had no regrets...and yes, we consider it an investment in our son's future, not just an expense.

ActionQuest is an extremely unique place that offers amazing experiences for kids of all ages and from all over the world. It has taught me so much, not only about sailing and scuba diving, but also about myself, and going to ActionQuest has made me a much happier person. I truly enjoy lifeworks forums. I think that they bring up important topics, and often bring boats closer. They also help connect the lessons that I have learned at ActionQuest to my life outside, so that I may bring these new lessons home with me. The instructors were always happy to answer any sailing question and hand over the helm to any student who wanted to learn more about sailing. They made it very fun and interesting to sail the boat. Scuba diving instructions were also excellent, the instructors would help us plan our dives in the beginning, but then allow us to figure out how to do it on our own later in the trip. Diving is my favorite part of AQ, and it never fails to amaze me. The instructors are amazing, they clearly love what they do, which impacts each shipmate and allows them to have a great time. The friends that I made at ActionQuest are some of my closest friends now, and would have never met them without going to AQ. The people that you meet are just so interesting and amazing. The diving is beautiful, and the sailing is so much fun

best time of my life. I would go back in a heart beat. Best summer I could've asked for. Everyone I met was amazing and I've made friends that I know I will have for the rest of my life. Beyond exceeded by expectations.
