Contact Us: We are available by phone or e-mail to answer your questions and to check on summer 2008 availability.
Interview: A five minute interview is required to establish your level of enthusiasm, help you decide if AAVE is right for you, match your age with an appropriate group and warn you about alcohol, drugs, tobacco, detrimental behavior and the rules which unify our community. A copy of these rules (PUA) will be faxed or emailed to you at your request.
Submit an $800 deposit and application: 2008 openings are available on a first come basis. Depending on availability, we may only be able to hold you a space for twenty-four hours allowing you to over night your application and deposit. Full tuition is due May 15.
Acceptance: We will send you an immediate written confirmation with a detailed clothing list, reading list, medical form, insurance form and participation agreement. Your references will be contacted by email.
Air Travel: Our travel office will try to fly you with other trip members. AAVE meets every teenager at the airport upon arrival where a call home to confirm arrival occurs. Arrival and departures times are very strict. There is a minimum $150 charge for arrival or departure that does not strictly meet our guidelines.
Final Packet: Two weeks before your trip departs we will mail you a group list, description of your leader, detailed itinerary, flight list and instructions and final papers.
