Testimonials


I just wanted to say an enormous thank you to everyone who helped run the woodland camp at Bushy Wood this week.
Our little one is eight and had a tough start in life, so he can be very anxious. He really didn’t want to go on the first day, as it was his first time doing something like this, but he came home absolutely bubbling over with excitement! He tried new foods, made new friends, and took part in activities that he wouldn’t otherwise get to do.
Two things he said about the camp have stood out for me: ‘They trust us to do everything if we do good listening’ and ‘Can I go again next week, and the week after, and the week after?’
What more can we say?
Thanks again for making an anxious little boy more confident and giving him a week of activities that he’ll remember for a long time to come.
