West Coast Summer Camp Rocks!
Posted by AAVE Camper in : Bold West, General AAVE Trip BLOG , trackback
Each day I face situations that I feel may be difficult to overcome, but when I think back to all that I overcame this summer it gives me the confidence that I need. Whenever an obstacle comes my way I picture myself making the next step in a rock climb, standing on a surfboard, or standing at the top of Angel’s Landing. Although it is now Decemeber, five months after I began my trip, I still cannot believe the opportunity I had this summer to do such incredible things. Before the trip I read the website and saw that the main goals were to improve self esteem and character building and I thought to myself, this is never going to happen, I will never gain confidence from this trip. I have never been more wrong in my life! This trip honestly changed me so much, and I live such a better life now after my trip. AAVE truly helped to improve so many aspects of my character, feelings, and attitude. Thank you so much!

My daughter had a wonderful experience which to me is the most important thing. My conversations with the group leaders were very satisfactory and I felt confident at all times that my daughter was safe and in good hands.

Jen had an outstanding summer with Bold West. She enjoyed her leaders, Sheila and Lawson, and felt that they did a great job leading the group. It was very cohesive, from what Jen told us, with everyone getting along and enjoying each other. As a parent, I was thrilled that she was so happy and I was a little freaked when I heard about how difficult some of the hikes were (the chains on the side of the mountain at Zion). It was good I learned about that afterward. That’s not a complaint, just an honest response. There was not one thing that Jen did not love about her trip. She really couldn’t name a favorite part of the trip because she loved it all. She is very interested in another AAVE trip next summer, which we will need to discuss with her, but chances are good she’ll try another one of your trips. Could you please send us Sheila and Lawson’s address so Jen can write and we can send them tips. Thanks.

Overall, a HUGE success. Wonderful leaders and great group dynamics. Rock climbing, river rafting, surfing & hiking all seemed to go well. Meal shopping & preparation was impressive- she learned alot about being self-sufficient. Also, leaders encouraged healthy eating and limited junk food- great. Communication home was very smooth & exactly according to schedule. This was a wonderful experience for Madelaine and I thank you!

I think AAVE did a great job. I am very pleased with the trip, the leaders, the company, and Amandas experience.

I enjoyed so much rock climbing, it was so cool and I learned how to push my limits and trust myself! But the most successfull thing was friendship, everybody was so funny and friendly and I liked meeting people from other countries!
