"Since 1976, we have attracted a high-powered group of teenagers to enjoy the challenges of adventure travel. We are about feeling alive, competent, and part of a highly motivated team having fun on world-class expeditions in rock climbing, white-water rafting, mountaineering, backpacking, mountain biking, sailing, kayaking, horsepacking, international travel, cultural immersion, language study, and service projects in Africa, Alaska, Arizona, Australia, California, Canada, Colorado, Costa Rica, England, France, Hawaii, Italy, South America, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, Utah, Vietnam, and Washington. Our hallmark for teenagers has been innovative adventures, responsibility, commitment, and inspirational leadership. All groups include 13 teens and 2 adults, allowing AAVE to teach skills to last a lifetime. Leadership, jobs, responsibility, and a personal commitment are required of every participant, every day.
