Since 1976 AAVE has lead thousands of teens from almost every state and more than twenty countries on adventure travel camps throughout the world. AAVE tours cover a wide range of activities including biking, surfing, skiing, sailing, white water rafting, foreign language study, and community service.
Extraordinary leaders + motivated participants + quality adventures = friendships and experiences which will last a lifetime.
AAVE participants don't have to be "super athletes" or experienced in the camp activities. However, the programs do require a spirit of mental and physical readiness, a willingness to venture beyond one's own environment, and an ability to meet new friends while journeying into unexplored territory.
AAVE is accredited by the American Camping Association (ACA). ACA accreditation requires meeting or exceeding over 300 standards including leader qualifications, first aid, emergency procedures, vehicle safety, etc.
AAVE Trip Leaders are highly motivated role models with extensive experience working with teenagers in adventure camp environments. AAVE trip leaders are certified in the highest levels of first aid, CPR and lifeguard training. Each leader has a passion for working in the outdoors with teenagers, and many continue to work with AAVE Teen Adventures for six or more years.
All trips include one male and one female Trip Leader with an average age of twenty-six years old. Our hiring process is competitive, resulting in what we believe to be the most professional, safe and experienced leaders in the industry. We conduct an in-depth interview, check references and do a background check of all potential Trip Leaders. Organizational skills, and an ability to successfully teach teenagers about leadership and wilderness travel, are the talents we value most.
