School Holiday Adventures Testimonials

"I’ve just got home with the kids. I was expecting moans and groans but there was none of that. The oldest can be a bit anti social but she was chatting away about the friends she made. I wish I’d booked them in for the full week instead of random days so the friendships they made could flourish but I’ll know for next time. Thanks again"

"Our girls ages 10 and 12y had a fabulous time for 2 days on the spring camp. They built fires, made pizza, went grass sledging. The highlight for them was the stand up paddle boarding with fun games. We will book again for summer."

"Our 8 year old son has just been for the week. Every day he has rushed out of bed, put on his clothes, raring to go...... What greater endorsement!"

"My daughter attended West end adventure for 2 days and absolutely loved it. Originally I booked one day but she enjoyed it so much I booked another and will be booking again in the near future. Staff were great and my daughter had great fun and met another friend along the way."

"Found out about this place from a friend in work , thought I would book my daughter in to get her off you tube! She had an amazing time! Spent full day squeezeling and loved every minute of it, came home happy, muddy and shattered, would definitely return and recommend"
