I recently have returned from 4 weeks doing camp Cambodia. Such an amazing and unforgettable experience helping such wonderful people and seeing some beautiful places. Throughout the trip, I felt very looked after by both the camps international staff and the locals. I wouldn’t hesitate to participate in a trip like this again. I would HIGHLY recommend!

My son has travelled with Camps International on 2 trips so far. He has thoroughly enjoyed the service and action that he has been involved in. The customer service we had in the lead-up, during and after each of these trips has been fantastic. The team on the ground at the camps kept my son safe, fed well and engaged in all of the activities. Both camps chaperone's that travelled with the group did an amazing job of getting to know the kids and helped them when they needed it. I am looking forward to him traveling with Camps International again.

My son travelled on expedition to Kenya with Camps International and GWA and had the most amazing time! I was impressed with the entire process from start to finish which was very reassuring since this was his first overseas trip without parents. The online traveler gateway was very useful to find information quickly such as kit lists, flights and itineraries. And the information evenings Camps provided were very informative and professional – top notch! My son is not hugely academic but is very good with “hands on” activities. It was a great opportunity to take him outside of the classroom and let him shine in a different environment. He was even able to teach some of the kids how to de-worm goats as he has done this before back in New Zealand. However, the highlight of this trip for him was the community service building work. Living in Dubai we are lucky enough to lead very privileged lives, so he was very grateful to be able to help the less fortunate build part of a school. What an opportunity! Thank you Camps International team! We’ll definitely be sending him on another expedition with you soon.

My daughter had an incredible time with Camps International in Borneo. We found their communication excellent, and would absolutely recommend a Camps International adventure to anyone who was considering it.

We spent a fantastic week as guests at Camp Kenya. The trip was expertly organised by the staff at Camps, and our Expedition Leader Leanne was wonderful. Totally supportive to staff and students alike, she was also great fun to be around. Although it was extremely hard work, we grew both physically and emotionally through this hard word. Our students tackled everything with great enthusiasm, as they understood the importance of the tasks to the local community, which had been clearly explained by the camps staff. Accommodation was basic, but in keeping with the environment, and nothing was too much trouble for the camps staff. A special shout out should go to Mama Mercy, for her welcome and work when we helped the women's group, Enoch who gave us lessons in Swahili and to Peter who was patient and knowledgeable on our safari. A huge thank you to Leanne (Camps Expedition Leader) who made us feel secure and safe and who helped make our trip something we will all remember for the rest of our lives. It is difficult to find words to express what we did, saw, participated, learnt and helped with during this trip. However it truly was for us, a life-changing experience. Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou!

Well organised exhibition. All staff, from the camp managers, camp leaders and local guides, were exceptionally helpful, kind and welcoming. As a teacher travelling with students, I felt at ease with the knowledge and organisation of camps and their staff, which ensured a smooth and enjoyable trip for all.

My son had an awesome experience and has grown in confidence as a result. I loved the information we received b4 signing up and b4 departure and communication along the way, also friendly, quick responses to any questions. I felt we were in good hands and the ethical side was paramount to the organisation. Thank you.

My daughter Ciara has an absolutely fantastic time back in our home continent Africa and experiencing Kenya for the first time. She loved the entire experience and has come back a changed girl. Despite having visa problems on the return, we had no doubt that Camps International would step in and help. Thanks for all of this.

It was a wonderful experience that I am very grateful that Camps gave me the opportunity of doing. They're customer service before the trip was very friendly and made things easier for us. The sight-seeing was truly amazing and the food at the restaurants we were taken to was delicious. I absolutely loved my time in Cambodia.

My daughter had an amazing time in Peru in July. The fundraising advice and gateway website were really helpful at keeping us informed and it was great to see photos via Twitter whilst she was away. She felt the rep on the expedition was great. He was knowledgeable and supportive and the camps were well run. The projects were varied and treks and trips out really helped her explore the country. Thank you for offering these opportunities, they are life changing for young people.

I went on the explore expedition to Tanzania. This was honestly the most amazing experience of my life and I felt so so happy whilst I was away - I didn't want to come home! For somebody that had to fundraise every penny of the trip and kit, I can say that I feel that all the hard work my family and I put in was worth it!! The staff at every camp were so friendly and happy which lifted the mood of my team. Also, my team leader was awesome and definitely helped to make the trip such an amazing, unforgettable experience. The projects we worked on were an enjoyable challenge and we could see our hard work turn into progress. I also loved the cultural activities we got to try such as making chapattis, banana curry and mandazis. We got to meet lots of local children and even play a football match with them which was lots of fun. This has been a life changing experience for me and I've made some epic new friends along the way too. Top tip - take a diary with you and keep a travel journal. This is one of the best things I took with me and I can now read and replay little memories in my mind :)

My experiences in Cambodia were amazing, creating life-long memories and friends. Our leader, David, was a wealth of information and great fun, it was an honour to spend a month in his company. The trip was very expensive, which caused my parents some consternation, however, I can see where the costs were incurred and I felt it was value for money. I'm delighted that I have made a difference to people's lives. I would recommend this experience to anyone considering it.

Camps help me by teaching me life skills that I thought I would never learn on my own in England. They taught us how to be organised and working to a schedule. These are all keys skills that my whole group are greatfull for learning. I highly recommend camps international for any young adult who is looking for a trip of a life time at such a young age.

Camps is amazing! I travelled to Costa Rica and I enjoyed every second of it, I loved all the project work and the staff in each camp were phenomenal. All staff, in country and back in the UK were brilliant and took incredible care of me when having to visit the hospital numerous times, I couldn't have asked for better treatment. I overcame a lot over the month I was away but I couldn't have done it without the support of my leader and staff at the camps. Thank you for such an awe-inspiring trip of a lifetime!
