Everything was great from our perspective. I was confident with the organization and leadership and Stephen loved everything: the group, the leaders, the activities and the camping.
Thank you, AAVE!

Learning new things on this trip was a big success. I learned many new things that I can take home and show. Getting to know new people from all over the US and the world was a new experience. Our group had great leaders that made it fun for all of us. I definitely recommend AAVE to other people!

My daughter loved France with AAVE

She has returned home with a lot more confidence in herself and in her ability handle situations, to be more comfortable speaking french, and a greater appreciation for what she has. We hope she and her sister can do an AAVE trip again.

The trip was amazing. I did so many activities that I would normally never think of doing! Speaking French was truly a credit to me in high school. From hiking and rock climbing to bonding with my trip members, I will never forget this experience!

I took risks, learned to kayak whitewater, overcame my fears, met new people, experienced new things and had a great time! Kayaking tested my physical and mental strength and I think I grew a lot during this trip.

I thought the trip was very sucessful. AAVE alllowed us to challenge ourselves but we always felt comfortable. It was a great group of kids and leaders and I had a great time getting to know everyone while kayaking.

I would love love love to go on another trip!! But I am too old now, unfortunately :(. The trips I went on (Ultimate Hawaii and Africa) were some of the best times of my life, and I will never forget them and the people I met on them. I look forward to maybe one day leading a trip!! If possible, tell Rory and everyone at AAVE I said hello!
Sincerely,
