“We have a very happy and confident daughter who returned from China….thank you! She had the time of her life and can’t stop bubbling over with stories of her experiences. Rory was superb, the group well matched and the itinerary phenomenal. It is not easy to let your child go half way around the world without you, but AAVE did all it promised and more. Thank you for making dreams come true.”

“Just a quick note to tell you that Dan had an awesome summer in Thailand. I will wholeheartedly recommend your organization to anyone that asks. The fact it was so different than anything else, made it a great experience. Now I only wish you did adult tours. Dan really enjoyed the group and I am so glad it went as well as it did for him.”

Hawaii Summer Adventure

“Thank you for the great summer experience for Peter. He came home feeling very proud and accomplished from this summer!”

-Ann Erickson, parent of camper, Peter, UH 1A

“I sent you a totally capable, physically fit, smart, confident, young lady. When Kristen walked off the jetway on Saturday, it was abundantly evident to me within minutes that the woman that returned is able to do anything that she sets her sights on. Physically strong, an attitude of not only can do, but will do, an knowing more about what a team can do than I could ever have taught her.”

“She has a new appreciation for the finer smaller things in life such as: indoor plumbing, washing machines, a choice of food, and plain old relaxation time. Kristen said that she sort of got used to the ground and didn’t miss her bed as much as she thought she would. She definitely would miss sleeping in a tent more than she ever would have imagined. Thank you for a blessed three weeks for Kristen.”

“AAVE was very organized and informative during the planning of the trip. They handled the overseas flights very well by keeping us informed. I LOVED the way AAVE initiated contact with us to allay any of our concerns. Also, I appreciated the trip leaders calling us at home when Megan arrived in Switzerland, as well as throughout the trip.”
