<p>[QUOTE=&quot;valente151, post: 1744066, member: 27564&quot;]A. We flew in the day early and did group activities at night at an arcade with laser tag and other games and a pizza party. It was a good way to get to know each other. The other reason we flew in a day early was to get a head start on cataloging the lots for the YN benefit auction that raises money for YN scholarships. I do know of a few kids that came in the day after, but I would recommend that, if possible, she came the first day. It&#039;s just a good way for everyone to get to know each other. I can say that the ANA does a great job with keeping track of the YNs as they fly in and meeting them at the airport. You could also have her fly as an unaccompanied minor, where she would have a member of the airline keep track of her on the flight and while connecting (if necessary) and also walk her right to the ANA representative.</p><p><br /></p><p>B. The YN&#039;s this year ranged from 12 to 22 this year. I think that the average age was around 15-17. You must be 12 to attend. The YNs are housed in a separate, chem-free dorm with chaperones. Even those that are over 21 are not allowed to drink or smoke while attending Summer Seminar if they are staying in the YN dorm. At 1:30 all YN&#039;s are supposed to be in their rooms, but it is still possible to socialize after this time. The YN&#039;s are given several perks by the ANA staff such as a fully stocked drink fridge, snacks, and pizza every night. The YNs are also housed in the CC Inn in which the rooms have seperate showers, fridges, freezers, microwaves, safes, and best of all, air conditioners. The CC Inn also has a lounge with many comfy couches, a pool table and big screen tv with cable and dvd player.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are also nightly meetings with the chaperones where the YN&#039;s are able to talk to each other about their day and the chaperones stimulate discussions about what they learned. There is also a nightly activity. This year we had the night at the arcade, preparing for the auction, the talent show, the auction itself and a roundtable discussion where we all got a display case and displayed some of our coins for the other YNs and adults from Summer Seminar to look at and enjoy. Despite all of this, we also had a lot of time to enjoy ourselves, play extreme Uno and go on the tours or mini seminars that we wanted. (I suggest the Pike&#039;s Peak Cog Railway)</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this answers your questions and also gives you a little insight into what your daughter should expect.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
