Teen Summer Camp in Galapagos Sees It All!
Posted by AAVE Parent in : Ecuador & Galapagos, General AAVE Trip BLOG , trackback
Both my daughters, previous to this summer, had been on a wide and varied assortment of teen trips. I have to say the feedback from the Ecuador trip was, hands down, the best of any of their experiences. I credit your company in making it such a great time. In particular she thought the two leaders were everything you could look for, fun, enthusiastic, kind and considerate. I thank you.

The trip was amazing…Michael forged incredible bonds with a variety of kids, his confidence & self-esteem grew immensely on top of being a tremendous growth experience for him! The combination of adventure & the group experience was fantastic. The leaders were professional & fun (a tough combo to find) & I would whole-heartedly recommend AAVE to everyone!

Everything about the trip was simply amazing. The places we traveled to were magnificent, but the 13 other kids I met, and our trip leaders were the most important part of the trip to me. Hopefully, I’ve made some life-long friends, and I hope that next summer will be just as exciting. Hiking through bat caves in the Amazon jungle was one of my favorite activities. I can’t really point out any unsuccesful thing on our trip.

The whole trip was a great success! I loved all of it. I didn’t even get home sick I was having so much fun.

I felt my daughter Kelsey had a wonderful experience with AAVE. She absolutely loved every aspect of it, and she says wishes it could have lasted for the whole year!

Absolutely everything this summer was a huge success. I ADORED the counselors, learned so much about Ecuador’s culture, and had the best time of my life!

Katie had a wonderful experience. She met and made new friends who were from other parts of the country and her leaders were knowledgeable and caring. Ecuador and the Galapagos was Katie’s 3rd trip with AAVE and it was by far the most interesting and rewarding. Once again, thank you for providing these opportunities to young adults!

Ira had a blast. It was an incredibly valuable experience for him. We were very impressed with the organization as well as the team leaders. I took Ira to university this past weekend, in Toronto and I think the confidence he gained onthe trip will be of great benefit to him. I will forward you request to him but I think he is pretty busy with starting at a huge school in a big city. So let me know if you don’t get a response.

It accomplished all of our goals for Kate in that she negotiated her first independent experience which included sickness and injury without us and I attribute that to the group and leader support. She is not an outdoorsy or adventurous girl, preferring NYC and LA to a village in the Andes, so considering that, it was amazing how much she loved the trip!

Josh came home excited about his entire experience in Ecuador. It was clearly the trip of a lifetime for him. One of the highlights was swimming with sea lions in the Galapagos. Memories of seeing some amazing wildlife in the Amazon will also stay with him always.

I had a chance to challenge myself and do things I never though I would experience in my life time.
