AELP Is Havin' a Whale of a Time!

The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the AELP students are sliding and splashing in New England's favorite water park today!


Lincoln, New Hampshire, just a short half-hour drive from the New Hampton campus, boasts award-winning water park Whale's Tale.

Here, opportunities abounded for the students to challenge themselves and further explore the idea of healthy risk-taking that is encouraged here at AELP.
Entering the 'Eye of the Storm!'
Banzai Pipeline!
The Plunge!
Earlier in the summer, during a trip to Canobie Lake Park where students challenged their levels of comfort on adrenaline-pumping roller coasters, Fernando, from Spain, admitted that "the experience was good to remember, but not to repeat."  Today, however, with rides like The Plunge rocketing the students down slides at 40 mph, Fernando and fellow AELP students were confronted with challenges again and each of them met the challenges head on!
Coco from China, Filippo from Italy, Fernando from Spain, and Ellie from Russia are always ready to keep learning and adventure on!
Jimena, from Mexico, through exclamations of "Just look at this!" and "Oh my God!,  plunged headfirst into the experience and came away smiling!
Jimena, from Mexico, a natural adventurer!
We'd like to congratulate our students for allowing themselves to have fun today while taking healthy risks.  They confronted physical challenges and the mental challenges of navigating the attractions and rowdiness of an American water park.  Great job, AELP students!
