He turned the usually quiet summer season at his family’s marina into a thriving summer sailing camp for teenagers. In 1970, Jim expanded the concept, taking his school to the water full-time. Jim sailed the Atlantic waters aboard 156′ Te Vega and 175′ Te Quest, enrolling 86 teenagers every year in a high school program of study and travel. Twelve years later, with children of his own, Jim moved back ashore to develop his motivational adventure programs for young adults. In the mid-eighties he once again headed to the water and ActionQuest was born. In 1995, Jim was joined by Mike Meighan. A recent oceanography and marine biology graduate, Mike dreamed of creating a truly interactive educational experience. Using the principles of ActionQuest, Mike developed Looking to give something back to the communities that had supported ActionQuest and Mike sails aboard full time with the British Virgin Island ActionQuest summer programs, preferring to maintain his active role as director. Today ActionQuest, “As my fourth session of ActionQuest comes to a close, I can honestly say that these twelve weeks I have spent in your program are the biggest learning experiences of my life. I truly admire the integrity and sincerity you possess and encourage us to gain in our lives as well. Thanks again for the fabulous summers.” “I feel as though I pushed myself to face challenges and overcome fears more than ever before. And I feel as though I might not have been able to do it were it not for the supportive ActionQuest environment. Thank you so much for the incredible opportunities and experiences that I have gained through ActionQuest over the past three years. They have altered my perspectives of both myself and the world around me.” “As a 4-year ActionQuester, I believe myself to be qualified to say you and your program rocks! I return every year because I walk away from this program with more and more. I learn so much about myself, and who I want to be. Most importantly, I learn who I want to surround myself with - the kind of people I want to become close to.” Please contact us for more details about our teen adventure programs.
