“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.”

Hi Claire, Thanks so much for your feedback - it's great to hear that you were happy with every stage of your family's journey with us. We know how important it is for parents to receive all the information and communication they need to prepare for such an important experience for their child, so it's great to hear we're getting this right :) We hope your son continues to reap the benefits of his experience with us. All the best, The Camps Crew

“Process was run professionally and all the kids had a good, educational time and most importantly came back safely from Kenya. I got the impression that the camp monitors were confident and experienced. The trip was well documented and parents kept in the loop once the kids were in-country. Only niggle was in the pre-trip admin we were told not to take photos of the presentation as it would be sent to us, then it was never sent to us. Otherwise all good.”

“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.”

“My daughter came back from 8 days in Tanzania and weeks later, she's still talking about her life changing trip. Amazing experience with camp staff who are very friendly, good food provided as well. The community work the kids undertook definitely changed their lives forever. We would consider sending her again on other trips. Administration prior to the trip was a little disappointing, with parents given the wrong itinerary (Kenya rather than Tanzania), wrong packing list provided and very little offered in terms of what the camp conditions are like etc. A more thorough admin process prior to the trip will definitely make parents more confident to send their children abroad.”

“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.”

“My month in Cambodia was amongst the best in my life and the people I met made it even better. All of the Camps staff were unbelievably friendly and helpful and our work was very rewarding - it was clear to see the difference that we were making. The only downside really was the hidden costs of the vaccines and kit (and I didn't buy many things or expensive ones - Primark and mountain warehouse sales sold me most of my purchases), instead of £3990 it was more like £5000 which we weren't made aware of at the start. Other than that the trip was unbelievably well organised and our leader Alice was one in a million and made the trip 1000 times better. I would definitely recommend Camps to anybody looking to do a similar trip.”

“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!”

“Traveled to Kenya with Camps International 15th July-12th August 2019 as a 16 year old. All the camps were lovely, homely and clean with incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. The entire trip was an amazing experience well worth the money. I cannot explain how many fantastic things we were able to do within a month- including a trek to the summit of Mount Kasigau! Food was delicious and accommodated well for special dietary requirements. Would also like to commend the efforts of Camps to make sure that students who were feeling ill were immediately looked after. Would love to go again. 5 stars.”
