(July 2018 - Primary School)




From a pupil perspective it was a fantastic experience and had the desired outcomes we intended. Due to our location in South camp and the construction work the centre were currently undergoing, we had difficulties meeting starting time of meal times and activities. Also we were restricted with accessing our area with our school minibus. This ideally needed to be factored in when they put together our timetable. (July 2018 - Secondary School)




We stayed in tented village at South Camp. The facilities were worse than usual due to building work. However, once finished (Spring 2019) I am sure this will be much improved. The course leaders and activities were excellent; challenging but with the right amount of supportive. We left having developed new skills and interests and with a lot of good memories. Definitely worth the long journey. (June 2018 - Primary School)
