Vista 's location on the shoreline of south central Connecticut provides a campus that spans five neighboring communities, from Old Saybrook to Guilford, on the Route 1 corridor. These shoreline towns are safe and convenient to local resources such as public transportation, shopping, medical services, churches, recreation, cinemas, cultural opportunities and libraries.
In this scenic New England environment Vista students and members thrive as they gain the social and vocational skills to live as productive members of the local community. Employment opportunities range beyond the shoreline within a 30-mile radius of Westbrook, from New Haven to New London and north to Middletown. More than 125 firms employ Vista students and Outreach members.
In an area known for its scenic beauty, beaches, historical sites, and tourist attractions, students and members have access through Vista's recreational and club programs to additional opportunities such as
sailing, camping and skiing, and to regional theaters, concerts, and sports events.
Outreach Program members live locally in more than 72 separate households. They are united with the Vista community by their participation in Vista 's programs, and they are members of the wider community in the towns where they live. Their proximity to Route 1 provides easy access to public transportation.
