“By doing a camps international trip to Borneo it allowed me to not only experience what life is like over there but also reflect upon how privileged my life is . The trip really helped me find who I am and who I want to be , it taught me a sense of independence that I never had before and the confidence boost I received after completing the trip as a whole is unreal I never realised my limit and I still wonder if I have really reached my level of strength I found I had over there . Still to this day I forever miss Borneo and my leader Lindley who had a huge impact on making my trip positive but through the friends I made we are able to talk and recall our amazing memories made together. If I got asked by someone if the trip is worth it I would tell them 100% as it’s an opportunity that won’t get handed out again and the impact you make on the people also has an impact on yourself. So thank you to the camps team as a whole and the work that they do is outstanding I hope I will be offered the chance for another memory making trip like the one I am forever grateful and mourning that you so much .”

“The absolute best experience of my life! my 4 weeks in Kenya were life changing from the amazing local people to the breath-taking views. I enjoyed every second of my time there and it was worth every penny fundraising and all the preparation. witnessing the direct impact we had was truly rewarding. I would recommend to anyone as camps are a great organisation and made the trip complete.”

“I’m mixed in how I feel about Camps International. My 15 yr old daughter went to Cambodia this summer with them. She has been fundraising for 2 years and I do believe this has been a great experience in itself. However she’s been left disappointed by the expedition experience- partly due to the group she was in (for anyone thinking of going I would strongly advise going with a friend). She didn’t gel with anyone in her group and there were a lot of friendship pairs/groups in her group so she felt lonely. Sometimes different groups crossed over at camps and she made some lovely friends that way but was rarely with them. But the other reason was her group leader. I think their experience has a lot to do with who they get as a leader and this individual sounded like they were there purely for their own experience and not the young people. These YPs are a long way from home and I would expect the leader to check in on them, providing pastoral care and support. My daughter described her leader as ‘not liking children or young people’ which I would say is a core element of their job. I think that this in turn impacted on my experience as a parent. We were warned no news was good news and there were posts on instagram every so often. However some groups had daily posts with lots of photos of smiling kids. Our group posted, at best, every 3 days and the kids didn’t look very happy. My daughter said it was the leader who took the photos so I am assuming this is the cause. Overall it was a lot of money for an average experience.”

Dear Parent Thank you for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. We’re genuinely pleased to hear that your daughter found the fundraising journey rewarding – we know how much effort goes into preparing for an expedition, and it’s great that she gained so much from that process. We’re really sorry to hear that the expedition itself didn’t live up to her expectations. It’s disappointing to know she didn’t feel fully supported or part of her group — that sense of belonging is something we always hope every student experiences. We also appreciate your feedback on the social media updates. These posts are intended to give a glimpse into life on expedition, and it’s unfortunate that they didn’t capture the best of your daughter’s group. Thank you again for taking the time to share your thoughts. If you’d like to discuss your daughter's experience further, please feel free to get in touch on travelsupport@campsinternational.co.uk All the best The Camps Crew

“I can't recommend Camps enough! Throughout the lead up to our trip to Cambodia and on the trip they were amazing. A Camps staff member is always a phone call away if you think of any questions. In Cambodia our leader was the best! She made sure we were safe while treating us all like adults and with respect, and we all had a really good laugh. I made so many memories I will never forget, I can't explain how fun the trip was and how trustworthy Camps are. Going to Cambodia was the best thing I've ever done, I have no regrets.”

“My daughter didn't travel with you. I paid the initial £460 but refused to refund me. This is sad and leaves a sour taste to the mouth. £460 is such a huge amount for a young African family just managing to stay afloat in the Uk. I sent several mails but it was all to no avail.”

“Unfortunately our last expedition was way below our expectations in both the run up to the expedition and during. I am however exceptionally impressed and grateful for the local in country staff who went above and beyond for us whilst in Costa Rica. I would not use or recommend Camps International in the future as it seems they put their own financial interests above the experiences of the students and the welfare of travellers and in country staff.”
