By offering four programs for Individual Families, Therapeutic Schools and Programs, Traditional Schools and Programs and Community Expeditions, Breakwater Expeditions can create individual experiences for various groups with an emphasis on therapeutic workshops, student expeditions, multi family expeditions and assisting in creating a Family Wellness Plan. Participants in these programs will gain real life learning experiences and students, families and individuals will learn the art of teamwork, leadership skills building and gain quality reconnecting time.
Adventure courses range from sea kayaks in Alaska, Washington's San Juan Islands, the Bahamas or Lake Powell, AZ; canoeing in Montana, whitewater rafting in Idaho or even dog sledding in Colorado.
