What They Said: "My girls are veterans of the summer camp scene and they agreed that this was by far their favourite. They thoroughly enjoyed the entire week and were full of enthusiasm. They spoke very highly of the leaders, commenting on how helpful and kind they were. From a parents’ perspective it was lovely to get an opportunity to see the outcome of all their hard work at the closing ceremony."
