“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!”

“I loved all of the experiences- everything was genuinely incredible!!!! The long drop eco toilets took time to get used to but honestly it’s all a part of the experience and it was fine once you use it a few times. The main complaint is the travel times. We took 2 flights and a 2-4 hour bus ride. Since the camp is remote it makes sense that the bus ride was long but I think the flights could have been organized much better. We went from Nairobi airport to mumbasa airport and then took the bus ride but the full journey took over 24 hours both times. To be fair I went with my school so things would take a bit longer, however there was a flight that left from mumbasa airport directly back home and that would have shortened the travel day to like 9 hours or so, instead of 24+ hours. Also we did 3 straight days of community work and I feel like it would be nicer to break it up to make things more varied. But otherwise it was perfect. This is an experience like no other and despite the difficult travel, the positives WAAAAY outweigh the negatives.”

“Incredibly satisfied with the service that Camps International gave our school. From the very start when they introduced the different locations and parent information evenings all the way until the end of the trip they were a helping hand throughout the expedition. Our trip leader Zofia was incredible throughout with her meticilous organisation throughout the trip. Her clear and understanding communication and also her upbeat personality on a trip of this type. we were very fortunate to receive such a fantastic service. Will 100% be using Camps International as our next residential tourist provider.”

“The trip with JESS Year 9 to Kenya was AMAZING, the trip of a lifetime and one my son absolutely loved and will stay with him forever. He came home raving about this life-changing experience, the fun games you all played at night in the camp, the epic safari, the beach conseration , learning how to make chaptati's and of course playing with the local children which he loved and gaining an enriching understanding of how they live, challenges they face and how fortunate we are. His stories told us they really did aim to 'make a difference' and an aim he wants to carry on. Thank you so much for this. One piece of advice I would like to give is many parents said they would be happy to pay for direct flight to Mombasa despite an expected increase in price. Seeing photos of duct tape on Kenyan Airways wing was not reassuring! If you can please do this trip directly with Emirates. Otherwise EVERYTHING was utterly wonderful. THANK YOU”
