Upgrade your self-Confidence and high-school résumé with an amazing European sailing adventure 

 

Join us next summer on the French Atlantic coast for two-to-three amazing weeks sailing the French and British coastlines on eye-popping traditional yachts. It's a premium European outdoor adventure camp that’s completely out of the ordinary!

*PARENTS: QBE (Qualified By Experience) is a top-shelf, if somewhat obscure, initiative supported by a group of like-minded adventure enthusiasts who taught at or attended the same Swiss international school. Outdoor and cultural expeditions were always mandatory for us, and through the years, skiing, mountaineering, cycling, and sailing were the outdoor activities of choice. So when one of our expedition masters came across two rare pilot cutters on the market a few years ago, he immediately started working the phone to raise funds to purchase them. His idea was to pass the school’s transformative teen experiences down to a new generation.

When it comes to boosting self-esteem, challenging outdoor adventures (like small-yacht open-water sailing) can be the secret sauce, especially when participants are given the reins to make many of their own expedition decisions. There’s nothing quite like the exhilaration of cutting through the water with a strong breeze in your sails, unless it’s the pride you feel when pulling into port after a challenging day on the water. It’s simply a fact that self-esteem is a powerful catalyst for academic and career success. Parents and educators are constantly amazed at the difference a great adventure can make in a teenager’s life trajectory. And what’s more, youngsters love it. In fact, many of our crewmates come back and do it again.
