When I was younger many years ago the only thing we had while growing up through school were day trips. I would have loved to have gone on a Summer camp or any camp for that matter.

My son before going to secondary school/high school went on a week trip on a Summer camp with his friends in his primary/junior school. He was not looking forward to it, to be honest we had barely ever been separated and this would be a first. Bravely he went, anxious and worried. When he came back my word he was a different child. Confident excited and had ooomphs of get up and go. This was a turning point in his and my life.

So thumbs up off me for Summer camps etc.
