“Elizabeth had a blast!  She has repeatedly asked about going back next summer.  It was an incredible experience for her; from traveling solo, being away from family for an extended time, developing friendships with other wonderful teens, and participating in new and exciting activities.  All that, and Hawaii too!  I would love for her to join you again.”                                                                                                   Parents of Elizabeth H.,    San Diego, CA
