Incredible experience! My daughter thrived on every minute. She adored the food, the goat deworming, the opportunity to teach, catch bugs, play with kids, learn, and experience nature in a completely wonderful, awe-inspiring way. As a parent, we were re-assured by the safety measures and encouraged by the opportunities to extend the children's views and perspectives of their rather privileged lives. Thank you. I can only say - if your child has this opportunity - grab it with both hands!

From start to Finish, CAMPS International has guided our expedition trips with phenomenal support, professionalism, and an exceptional attention to detail. Our school has now been on three trips with CAMPS, and they spare no efforts in ensuring the safety and well-being of all participants, both students and staff alike. With each expedition, they provide an online Gateway service for families and all participants to use which provide inclusive information like packing lists, risk assessments, flight and itinerary information. They provide pre-departure parent evening information sessions with video conferencing to answer questions. They also send an expedition trip leader to join you at the airport as an escort to your destination as an added feature of confidence. Every year, we look forward to a fantastic trip. Their staff are highly trained and have always had the greatest interest of the students at heart. Their offices have thought of everything, so that we don't have to. Having our young grade eight students abseiling down 155 m waterfalls in Nepal was magical to say the least. For this reason, we will have no trouble calling upon them again next year for a possible trip to Costa Rica or Peru!

We look forward to welcoming you on another trip with Camps and I am sure whether it be Costa Rica or Peru you won’t be disappointed. All the best The Camps Crew

An excellent, in-depth, full-on, week-long training in Kenya. Answered all the questions about day-to-day activities, accommodation and transport between the camps. Meeting those who work for Camps in the country and those who the work helps, really helped to embed what an excellent opportunity this is for the pupils.

Dear Trevor This is lovely feedback to receive, thank you so much for sharing. We’ve had such positive comments about this years’ recce trip. We’ve already started the planning process for those teachers eligible to travel with us for summer 2024. It’s always a fantastic experience for our staff in-country to meet teachers before they head out on expedition with us in the summer. Have a brilliant trip this summer Trevor.

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.

It was really fun, nice. The activities were so fun.I loved the people who took care of us, they were really nice and helpful. The food was also amazing. When we went to the classes in the morning in Gstaad, I loved walking through the village and going in the train. My favorite part was when we went in the forest to sleep in the tipis. I also loved when we went to sleep up in the mountains. I also loved when we went to the waterfalls and the glaciers.

Shortly, Camps International helped me engage in a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to have fun with a lovely group of friends as well as teachers, but more importantly, help those in need of our services and provide for them in as significant of a way as I possibly can. With that in mind, if I were to sum up our wonderful expedition in one word, it would be "Magical".

My experience chaperoning our high school trip to Nepal revived my love for traveling with students. From the moment we met our CAMPS leaders at DXB, I knew from their enthusiasm and engagement at 4 am that our students were about to experience a once-in-a-lifetime trip. The thoughtful itinerary was packed with age-appropriate, mental and physical challenges, cultural excursions, and tasty local dining - and the kids loved it. Even if they were a little homesick, for the majority of them, the highlight of the trip was being away from their phones and connecting with their friends and peers. We're two months back from our trip, and the students cannot stop talking about their experiences, and I know that their enjoyment is due in large part to our CAMPS leader Cam. Obviously, a good leader can make for a memorable experience, and Cam was able to motivate struggling kiddos on our hikes, encourage nervous or shy girls to rock climb, and generally develop a sense of family for our diverse group in such a short time. All of these kind actions are indicative of his love for these programs and working with our students. Thank you!

Dear Susanne We were moved to read your review and are happy to hear that your school expedition to Nepal revived your love of travelling and that the students had such a great time taking on the mental and physical challenges, embracing the culture and of course trying new foods. Thank you so much for your positive feedback for Cam, your expedition leader, - highlighting his enthusiasm and genuine ability to motivate the students to try something new and bond as a team. We will be passing on your lovely words to Cam, who we are sure loved the expedition just as much as you did. All the best The Camps Team

this camp was very well prepared and entertaining, i enjoyed every part of it. i loved how we were always entertained and doing something, all of the staff were very nice and welcoming towards us. i would highly recommend this camp to many people who enjoy service and exploring new adventurers. the only thing i would recommend would be more snack food in between the project work and visiting sites
