ActionQuest
ActionQuest is an incredible adventure that is yours for the taking. For over 30 years, ActionQuest has consistently delivered high quality, expedition-based summer programs for teenagers. Through hands-on experiential learning and adventure travel throughout the world, AQ has successfully ignited the inherent leadership skills within thousands of young adults. The AQ path offers action-packed adventures that focus on sailing, scuba diving, cultural immersion, marine biology and global exploration – all in a live-aboard environment unlike any other. No previous experience is necessary to step aboard, and as a PADI 5-star Gold Palm Resort, ActionQuest offers certifications from Open Water through Divemaster, including numerous specialties. You will live on sailing yachts within a crew of 8 to 12 teens your age. Within this close-knit team, you develop strong friendships by conquering daily challenges. Everyone plays a part in running the vessel, with roles and responsibilities shifting daily. One day you may be skipper, the next day chef, and perhaps, navigator the next. This active learning aids in fostering accomplishment and self-reliance in a fun, interactive environment! The experience is complemented by a committed, professional staff whose main goal is to support your discovery. The individual attention and camaraderie between staff and shipmates makes each voyage unique, as the entire team unites to accomplish the AQ mission of high action, real-world learning. Whether you choose a three-week voyage to the British Virgin Islands, the Caribbean’s Leeward Islands, the Mediterranean, Galapagos, Australia or Tahiti and French Polynesia – you are in for the adventure of a lifetime.
