This was our school's first-ever overseas trip, and I am so glad we choose to go with CAMPS International. it was an experience I will never forget. From the moment we got in touch with CAMPS, the team could not have been any more helpful. Our team consisted of Jemima, Chris and JD, aNd what a trio they are. The excitement from our students when Jemima came in to talk about the trip was felt around the school. Every question however big or small was answered and amazing support was given to our parents who of course were nervous about sending their children to a different country. We were supported at every turn. The excitement from Jemima filled the room at our predeparture meeting. Chris, answered at least 20 questions a day from myself, never mind parents. So thank you to them both so much. The trip itself was out of this world, Our camp leader was amazing and create such an exciting experience for our kids from the moment we got on the bus right up until it was sadly time to come home. He made every activity, meal and outing educational and fun for the students, He has such patience and kindness towards our student with special needs and basically carried him down a mountain all with a smile on his face. He was encouraging to both students and staff at all times. The staff at Camps were also amazing from our Camp manager to the security who kept us safe all week, they were so friendly and welcoming. They shared experiences of their lives and taught us so much. it was such a privilege to get to live and get to know them. the students are still talking about Peter. The trip its self was organised so well. The way the days were planned out allowed the students to have time to reflect on the day in the evening time and get enough rest to start again with our project work. the accommodation and the facilities were spotless and very well maintained. the food was amazing and such a variety every night, we never ate the same food twice. I know a highlight for most of them was deworming the goats and getting to meet all the families in the community. They along with myself were very humbled about how kind and welcoming they were to invite us into their homes. I personally, loved going to the school and meeting all the children and getting to spend time with them watching them learn and enjoying their time with eachother. Another highlight for me was having my students ask lots of questions about the conditions and why this was still happening in the world. I was proud of their awareness and wanted to find out answers. they have all said how much they want to go back to Kenya to see all the children at the school. Overall I cannot say enough what a fantastic experience this trip was from start to finish and I truly hope to be back again next year with camps whether it be to Kenya or to another destination. I cannot rate CAMPS highly enough to do them justice. The work you all do is amazing and I applaud each and every one of you AMAZING PEOPLE.
