A True Teen Summer Adventure- Australia

Australia Beach Time!
We felt that this was a very successful summer for Hayley. Not only did she travel half way around the world on her own, she did it very confidently. Her time with the group in Australia was fantastic. She was able to be a part of a group of people that she was unfamiliar with, and she was able to express herself in this new group. We love the stories that she is (still) telling us. I think that she was pushed in just the right way - like jumping into the school of sharks during the night dive! She loves controlled adventure and she got it! We are most impressed with the friendships that she cultivated during this trip. Thank you! -Gretchen Distler
