I did not think Natalee was a senior at the time of her disappearance.
Our local high school (a public school) offered a marine ecology class for seniors. For 32 years,their final included going down to Mexico about 200 miles. They camped out on the beach and studied the marine life there. The kids were gone for almost a week with LOTS of supervision from a combination of teachers and some parents. This was school sanctioned. Last year, the students did not get to go because of the violence in Mexico. The class was in an area with VERY little population, the kids could not leave.
There are programs which are not only a tradition in the schools, but are sanctioned such as this was. No idea if the class this year was able to go.
