Bridge Caribbean

"Very quick update (and please let Kate and Adam know) - Sarah is totally exhausted, happy, relaxed, and full of so many things to share from her awesome month in St. Vincent and the Grenadines (she took over 1000 pictures!).  She is totally missing it already, wants to go back, and is happy to be home all at the same time.  She is already planning our family trip there, because she knows all the places she wants to take us.  She's already commenting that the food here is not nearly as healthy as the food there!  :)   (this mom likes that - and will rise to meet the challenge)."

Bridge China

Bridge Peru

"It has been two days since Ryan has returned home and it is wonderful to have him back. Ed and I would like to sincerely thank you for ensuring his safe return. Your cool demeaner was required in a time of potential hysteria. Gracias! Gracias! Ryan arrived like he had taken a slow walk around the park. He showed no sign of traveling over 20 hours or had lost a passport. He expressed that he had learned a great deal on this trip.

Please share our gratitude to Darren and Nayeli for being the great team leaders. Let Nayeli know that Ryan truly enjoyed their time in Lima. Ryan appreciated her guidance and company. I am truly enjoying the pictures and know that our decision to send Ryan to Peru was the right one. It has been a pleasure to know and experience Windsor Mountain. I will spread the word .....

Bridge Puerto Rico

"I just want to thank each and every one of you for everything you did to make Elon's experience in Puerto Rico the HIGH POINT OF HER WHOLE YOUNG LIFE.  I have never heard such joy and pride in her voice as I heard in our phone conversation last night.  What a difference your program has made for this young woman... and by extension, her entire family.  I know that her example in achievement and adventure will be an inspiration to her younger brother and sister, not to mention any number of cousins and other extended family (adults included!).  And for Elon, meeting the challenges that this trip offered will surely be the touchstone of a new level of goal-setting... toward college and beyond."

"You must have the biggest hearts to do what you do --- to give these young people such experiences. It takes courage and passion." (parent)

Bridge Southern Africa

Hello Neesa! so happy to have josh home and wanted to thank you all for a wonderful life experience. josh had a magnificent time....and hopefully this will be the start to many wonderful avenues for him! (parent)

"I can’t recall seeing Ben with such a happy and relaxed look (except when we were in Tanzania).  He looks so happy…makes us feel happy ourselves and very reassured.  We are very happy to hear that Ben is taking more initiative – especially with respect to chores and feeling a sense of community." (parent)

New England Adventure

"Hello Sarah, I hope all is well, I just wanted to thank you again for giving me the oppurtunity to improve my leadership skills and to be a part of the Windsor Mountain experience again. The past two weeks have been very educational for me, and I hope that you will pass the thanks on to everyone who made this possible, specifically Angus and Neesa. Please give Stick and Cara extra thanks and let them know how much I appreciate all that they've done for me. I send much love and thanks to all." Student Traveler
