Lauren sailing at Lake Michigan Hello and welcome to Broadtree's webpage! I am Lauren Beznos and you can see a picture of me sailing in the picture on the left. I founded Broadtree Adventures in Education in May of 2003 because I wanted to provide the opportunity for teenagers in the city to experience the beauty, the challenges, and the excitement of the outdoors within and outside of Chicago. I also wanted to give them the opportunity to use their talents as leaders to create positive social and environmental change in their communities.

Broadtree's phenomenal programs wouldn't be possible without our fantasticstaff. I have lead many of Broadtree's programs and have the highest respect and aspirations for anyone who we hire to work with you or your children.

I look forward to meeting and working with you!
