Testimonials
"I wasn’t very good at archery at first, but I kept trying and eventually hit a bullseye. I learned that I can overcome my fears."
"The blindfold trail taught us to trust each other and work with people we wouldn’t usually work with. I discovered that I’m good at working with others."
"I learned that I’m stronger than I thought I was. The activities were fun, but prepare to get muddy!"
"It’s an amazing opportunity to learn new things, enjoy the beautiful countryside and make great memories with your friends."
"The blindfold trail was challenging because I had to rely on my friends to guide me. We persevered, communicated clearly and got the whole team through."
"I learned that I can believe in myself and keep trying when something feels difficult.”
"The activities teach life skills, survival skills and teamwork while still being lots of fun"
"It’s really good, and Robbie and Nick are helpful and encouraging leaders."
