After a good days hike
Patrick had an amazing time, and our experience with AAVE throughout the process was exceptional. It was the easiest for us as parents to work with out of any programs we have used and/or considered. Ruth Wells & Gary
Bold West Teen Summer Camp

Trip coordination and organization was excellent. Our daughter arrived home safely. AAVE delivered everything they promised in the advertisements and more. Our child arrived home in good spirits and with too many stories to tell at one sitting. As time passes we are still hearing about new episodes and adventures. The Bold West trip presented opportunities to challenge her abilities, and place faith in strangers and technical equipment. It was the perfect camping/road trip that parents could possibly guide their children on with the benefit of no parents. We appreciated the competent skills, the enthusiasm, and the dynamic energy that the leaders shared with the kids. Ardeth & Sam Jarvis

My trip with AAVE this summer was absolutely incredible. No complaints whatsoever. The best summer of my life, and I met kids who I will keep in touch with for the rest of my life. Very eye-opening as well. I loved it! -Erin Buerger

My summer was great!! I loved all the places that we went and I loved all of the people on the trip. I also liked being able to plan our own meals with food that we liked. I loved sleeping outside every night and my favorite part was swimming in Havasu!! -Meghan Burns

Summer Friendships
Jamie had an unbelievable time on the trip. Everything seemed to go smoothly. She really loved Nate and Kelsey and thought they were great leaders. The smile has not left her face and she continues surprising the family with interesting stories. Jamie never runs out of amazing moments to share with us. Joanie & Craig Harrison
Summer Bike Adventure- Amsterdam to Paris

The quality and quantity of the communication between AAVE and our family was excellent. I felt well informed both before and during the trip. I appreciated receiving the letter and pictures from the group while they were away. Zach really enjoyed himself although he would have liked to have had more time in Amsterdam as well as in Paris. He did like the amount of free time which he was given as well. -Lisa Wolff
