Camp Stories

It was after the second day in the summer outdoor camp. Zion, my 7-year-old son, took the champion pose and released an “I LOOOOOVE IT”. There’s no better proof for me. My child woke up by himself, walked happily into his day, and returned delighted, energised, and inspired. The fab team provided exciting, safe activities in nature and held space for connection, joy, and learning. It gave me peace of mind and fulfilment to know Zion in the hands of Cascais Routes. Thank you so much.
