Quote from Biddy Standeven from Greenmeadows Intermediate:
Thank you for an excellent camp. We all had great fun and the food was SO good. Please express my thanks to all your staff - they were patient and managed to get through to even the most 'difficult' children, thus making camp a positive experience for all concerned. October 2006

"We were only home in Auckland for about 10 minutes before the kids were saying they missed camp already! Jeff was absolutely brilliant with the kids and we really appreciated all the work he did with then. He considered all the kids and provided them with experiences that many of them will never get again. I want to thank you all for providing such brilliant facilities for our city kids. You have a fantastic set up and I fully recommend it to anyone" September 2005
