Our 9 year old son was a first time camper and was very apprehensive at the start but camp staff were amazing and when we picked him up he couldn't stop talking about how good camp was and that he wants to go to all Access  Adventure Camps. Communication between us and camp staff was excellent and they really took the time to discuss our son's needs prior to camp. Highly recommend Access Adventure Club and our son will definitely be going on camp again!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Access Adventures has provided a very safe, enjoyable and well supported adventure for both my child and young adult participants! Both thoroughly enjoyed their experience and still speak with fondness of the friends and memories they made and skills they learnt. As the parent, I felt completely relaxed and content that my children were in an environment where they had the opportunity to flourish. Both have now been re-registered for future Access Adventure experiences and look forward to seeing their favourite supports, friends  and camp leaders again soon!
