My experience of the teacher recce to Kenya 2023 was in one word, phenomenal. Such a great experience. I learnt so much and it really helped put an end to my worry’s regarding bringing the kids out to another country with a company I have never used before. The staff look after every inch of the camp experience. I felt very safe and cared for by all the staff. Nothing was too much. Seeing the differences in the standard of hospitals was an eye opener, and helpful to prepare myself in case this event occurred as being able to see what the processes would be followed should one of our students was injured or falls ill was great assistance for me and to write up risks assessments. I also found seeing the different types of camps very useful, some had beds, some had cold showers, some had drop holes, it was all great experience to bring back to other members of staff and the kids. Seeing the conservation and the kids was heart rending and really inspired me understand the great importance these camps are having on the community out there and how needed and important they will be as experiences for our kids. I am incredibly thankful and grateful for this opportunity and our kids are reaping the Benefits from my experience with a greater knowledge of how camps operates and a new confidence and enthusiasm regarding the trip. They are going to love it.
