“I’ve never camped before.
I think staying a week would be best cos there’s more to learn. And I’d get better at camping. I’d like to come again!”

“I love this camp.
When you get off the bus the vibe is so welcoming and positive and safe. It’s so nice to be out in nature. I’ve loved cooking and making the fire. I’ve really enjoyed the yoga in the morning, and we asked if we could do it at night.”

“If you’re feeling down and upset, you’ll feel better about yourself coming here.
You get to know people better and talk to people better. We were the right age to come because if you were younger you might hurt yourself. I’ve enjoyed cooking for other people – I made jacket potato and pasta too. I’ve cooked every day.
I’ve enjoyed making things together, the team helped a lot, helped with my anxiety.”

“The camp is good. There’s so much to be educated about.
We did groups about honesty and friendship. We made bracelets about the things people said to us that were nice.”

“I would recommend the SELF Camp because this is about confidence.
I don’t have a lot of confidence. If I looked in a mirror, I wouldn’t like what I see.
Usually I’m lost without my phone
Usually I wouldn’t eat in front of other people. But here I have.
Here I come down here just wearing my towel – you have to try to do new things in life, don’t you?
It’s important for girls to have self-esteem and confidence.
