My child ,Fadi,participated in Tanzania expedition with Camps International. He is still caught up in the thrills and experiences of the expedition. He enthusiastically explained every detail of the journey. I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to Mr.Adil and Ms.Valeria for their unwavering support, encouragement, care, and prompt responses to my queries. Their assistance and willingness to address concerns have been invaluable. To be honest, when I enrolled Fadi in this expedition back in October, I was filled with confusion and doubt, especially considering his age. However, after meeting Adil at his Dubai office and engaging in a lengthy discussion, I felt reassured to proceed. Adil's confidence in the program gave me the courage to send my 12-year-old, whom I had never sent anywhere without us before. Ms. Valeria consistently addressed my concerns, and her support and encouragement boosted my confidence in sending Fadi on the expedition. I must also express my gratitude to Ms. Lucy, the expedition leader, for her exceptional support, encouragement, and guidance throughout the journey. Fadi spoke highly of the lessons he learned from her. I had the pleasure of meeting Ms. Ellen for the first time at the airport before their departure for the expedition. I am grateful to her for all the support she provided. Fadi expressed his desire to do something meaningful for children in underdeveloped countries who may not be as fortunate as he is. I am incredibly happy and proud to hear this. I am proud of all the boys who participated in this expedition and carried out their responsibilities commendably. Kudos to Camps International and Raha International School for taking this initiative🙏🙏🙏

Dear Reena Abdul Rasheed Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We're absolutely thrilled to hear how much Fadi enjoyed his time during the Tanzania expedition with Camps International. It warms our hearts to know that he's still buzzing with excitement and that he found the journey so enriching. The entire team at Camps International work tirelessly to ensure every participant has a memorable and meaningful experience. We’re glad that we were able to provide the support, encouragement, and reassurance you needed to feel confident about Fadi's participation, especially given your initial doubts. We're also delighted to hear that Fadi spoke highly of the lessons he learned from Expedition Leader, Lucy and we have passed these comments on to her. We extend our heartfelt thanks to you, Fadi, and the rest of the team who participated in the expedition for their commendable efforts and for embracing the responsibilities entrusted to them. Initiatives like these wouldn't be possible without the support of schools like Raha International School, and we're grateful for their collaboration. Once again, thank you for choosing Camps International, and we hope Fadi's experiences continue to inspire him to make a positive impact in the world. All the best The Camps Crew

Liam and Phil led a first-rate camp for our school. The initial contact from sending a rep to our school to meet parents, spot on kit lists and information was excellent. On the trip, Phil and Liam did absolutely everything from start to the final moments, showing incredibly leadership and experience. The whole trip was organised and paced well - 3 days meaningful work in school, a hike, making elephant deterrent fences, goat deworming and the pinnacle - a excellent safari. As teachers, all we needed to do was keep the students respectful and engaged and sit back and watch the magic happen. Thanks Camps International - we'll be back next year!

The most amazing company, we have now done 6 different trips with Camps over a 15 year period. Our school is in an area of high deprivation and the way that Camps supports our young people through their fund raising and their trip is exceptional. Highly recommended!

I had a great time on my Teacher Familiarisation Trip with Camps International. I really feel that the work that they do is making a real difference. Their philosophy is to empower local people rather than giving handouts which is really impressive. We could see the direct (and indirect) impact that their projects are creating on the villages. Some of their projects included building chicken coops for people to give them additional source of income, teaching English to local kids to improve their chances in tourism industry, helping refurbish the schools in the area etc. They have their sites set up in the village itself and employs local staff to run the camp site. They are a part of the village since they have been there for quite some time, so it helps interact with locals as well. I think the students would get a lot out of the trip with them by doing service for the community, understand a different culture and learn about the hardships they face in day to day life.

I’ve been on two expeditions before ( Peru 2019, Borneo 2022 ), but I’ve never been on a teacher Recce before. I absolutely loved loved my week out in Kenya in October. The staff that accompanied us were amazing, the Kenya camp’s team are superb and the camps we visited were fantastic. Whilst only there for a week, it was packed with so many activities ( a trek with bush skills, visiting a Massai tribe, visiting and trying project work and even a mini safari. The food in Kenya, I found, was so much better than in Borneo and Peru. The sites were excellent ( apart from staff accommodation being far too hot at one camp ). Really looking forward to the expedition next year now.

Last January, I brought a group of 50 students from Vietnam to Cambodia for a 5-day community expedition at Camp Beng Melea. We had a wonderful experience from being picked up from the airport, being transferred to camp, made to feel incredibly welcome and well-cared for to being involved in meaningful and sustainable community projects. In particular, the Camp leader Han was amazing. His care, passion and friendliness made us all feel humbled, comfortable and inspired. All of the staff were amazing, and I'm looking forward to leading our next trip there in a couple of months.

The BEST experience ever. I got to know so many people that I didn’t really know before so better, connect with people who I’d been friends with before and just come together as basically one big family. The staff were amazing, I don’t think any of us from team Heridia could’ve asked for anything more. Will, our expedition Leader was absolutely brilliant at what he did and we’re all so glad we got him :). For me, it has made me mature as well. It’s made me realise the simplicity of life and how hard it can be for people who are less fortunate than us here in the UK. It’s helped me become more aware of my surroundings and engaging in more things that can help me in the future. As your motto states: it was an “Ethical Journey with (MASSIVE) Impact”. Thank you so much camps for giving me this experience, I know I will definitely cherish those 4 weeks forever. Thank you :) Noah :) (I don’t know what photos they mean so I’ve put some of my favourites that I took 😃) (Also they’re all pictures of nature due to me not being sure if other members of team Heridia would be ok with their photos being sent)

My daughter thoroughly enjoyed her trip to Cambodia, which has created lifelong memories for her. The exposure the students received to life in Cambodia under the Khmer Rouge regime has already made an impact. It's these experiences that help shape young adults by providing a tangible understanding of human rights and guiding them on the right moral path.

I had an amazing time on my expedition and I would highly recommend going on one of these trips to anyone else with the opportunity to do so. All the camps staff were super friendly and helpful. It was an incredible experience and I enjoyed experiencing and learning about different cultures in Borneo as well as learning about Borneo itself. It was also satisfying to see the project work we had completed by the end of the stay in a particular camp and know that the local community would benefit from it. Camps international was really helpful in providing resources to help me prepare for the expedition. The pre-departure meeting was informative and a good opportunity to ask any final questions, especially about travel money. I didn't have to contact Camps International with concerns at all.
