Testimonials

Thumbs

“The kids have been going to Adventurers since the beginning – they’ve grown up in the movement really. We’ve booked birthday parties and holiday club spaces and even some archery workshops as a reward for the footie team at the end of season. Now my eldest has come back to develop leadership skills as a young leader. I can’t thank Paul and the team enough for how they’ve been there for the kids over the years. They’ve learnt so much about the natural world but even more about themselves.”

John, father of three
