My younger sister joined the Florence Summer Program in 2024. She enjoyed the trip, and as a guardian, my perspective is that the program is a great way to expose young teens to new experiences, challenge them, and have them discover more about the world and themselves. The chaperones of the program are responsive, helpful, and proactive. They went above and beyond to accommodate special requests and understand each child's unique situation. If you have a shy kid, this is a great way to bring them out of their comfort zone, both the kids and chaperones are very kind and friendly. Thank you Abbey Road for providing a really important and meaningful life experience to my younger sister!
What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve-wracking part of the process was waiting for a Schengen visit visa (Needed if you're not American or European) and making sure it came in time before the departure date. The staff was extremely accommodating as we organized our plans on a later timeline than the rest, due to having to wait for the visa!
