Thank You AAVE for a Successful Summer!
Posted by AAVE Parent in : Colorado Discovery, General AAVE Trip BLOG , trackback
Every aspect about Nathan’s trip was extremely successful!!! Once we started packing, we had countless questions and no matter who we spoke with at your office, they were always pleasant and patient despite our repetitive and probably ridiculous questions! They addressed every possible and not-so-possible concern. Additionally, Taylor personally called us before Nathan left; spoke with us upon his arrival and again at the half-way point. He gave us details about Nathan, what the group was doing and how the trip was going overall. It was obvious he loves his job and it must have been contagious with all the kids. We relished the posts to the blog, even scanning some of your other trip’s adventures. We have the impression from Nathan that it was a priority to work as a team, that all the kids had important and necessary responsibilities and that none of it felt like work (which is key for Nathan, probably most 12-year-olds!). Nathan has stayed in touch with some of the kids, another positive reflection and gift that this summer gave him friendships that will last for a long, long time. We are so proud of Nathan for wanting to do this despite not knowing anyone. It taught him independence and resiliency. This trip will stay with him for years to come. At every point, we truly felt he was safe and undoubtedly having the best summer of his life! We are extremely grateful to the entire AAVE team. Yes, it’s true, you indeed exceeded our expectations. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!!! -Lisa Weinstock
