About Our Programs

The goal of all our programs is to centre on four aspects of participants lives – intellectual, physical, emotional and vocational. Broad Reach sailing programs focus on building self-esteem, confidence, teamwork, problem solving, reliability and responsibility.

Why sailing? Hosting our programs on a sailboat promotes physical activity and exposes our participants to an activity and social environment that they may not otherwise seek out or have the opportunity to encounter and enjoy.
