Don’t take our word for it, this is what those attending the last one had to say

We had an amazing time. Even my 14 year old said it was one off the best holidays she had ever had which says a lot. We'll be there next time. Thank you for all the hard work that was put into the weekend. Being greeted with people helping us put up our tent was such a nice start and the friendliness continued throughout the weekend.

Rachel

We will absolutely BE THERE!! It was genuinely one of the friendliest events, we’ve ever had the joy of going to, and even on the first night, the girls were asking to come again next year! Thank you to all the families we got to know too, and to all the crew, it was just super nice, and the facilities, (and crumpets) were banging!

Sue

It really was the best weekend and we can't thank you all enough for creating such an incredible environment. Tig hasn't stopped talking about how much fun she had since we got home. We can't wait for the next one!

Josie

We had the most amazing time. It truly felt like we were spending the weekend with family and friends and not people we had only just met. Honestly everyone was so lovely and it felt so safe. I am scared of spiders but after the camp out I came home and touched one! We cannot wait for the next one!

Kaighly

Incredible weekend. Thank you so much for organising! Cannot wait for next year.

Jayden

Yeeeessss!!! This is such ROARSOME news!!! Lots of excitement in the Davies household now! And watching the video, just reminds us, how incredible it all was!

Sue

We had the best weekend. Thank you so much to everyone involved. The amount of effort that must have gone into the organisation was incredible. The level of hospitality was second to none and the boys loved spending time with you all. We’ll definitely be back for the next one!

We can also provide an educational letter to your child’s school showing that the Friday content will be curriculum based. This can assist with some schools marking it down as an educational visit rather than absent (if you wishing to arrive Friday afternoon).
