US Advisory Board Member
LAS was one of the best experiences of my life, as I know it was for many alumni. So when I had kids, I knew I wanted to share the LAS experience with them. This past summer was just the first of many that my kids will spend in Leysin at the LAS Summer in Switzerland program.
My son, Sheldon, called me after just two days in the summer program not because he was homesick, but because he already wanted to extend his time at LAS! He is still in regular contact with many of the friends he met this summer in Leysin and visits them often back home in New York City. At age 12, he’s already beginning to build his own LAS alumni network!
Next summer, both Sheldon and my daughter Ava (11) will be attending LAS Summer in Switzerland. They can’t wait for their next Leysin adventure, and my wife and I can’t wait for our own adult European vacation while they’re at LAS.
