Dear Initiative Outdoor,

My son Christopher attended your winter camp in January 2010. I am writing to thank you for the very well run programme of activities over the ten days. My son had lots of fun and learned new skills such as bouldering, abseiling and canyoning. I was impressed with the professionalism and friendliness of your staff and the good organisation and close attention to safety. Thanks again for offering a great alternative to screen-based activities during the holidays! I would recommend any other parents to send their kids along.

Yours sincerely,
Stephen J Keeling

The full moon camping with IO was awesome! We all enjoyed the company of the friendly and experienced guides. And though the hike was a challenge, the scenery and route was beautiful and the delicious food offered by IO was certainly a treat after all the hard work. It really felt like a team event as we all pitched in to help with carrying the equipment to our camping site, pitching tents and dicing vegetables for dinner. Thanks IO for a really fun weekend and teaching us about camping in the hills of Nepal!!
