Our young guests and their leaders both say great things to us after a week at the Beacon! Here are just a few.

Children’s comments

“I really like the activities we did. I can’t wait to come again. It’s good to go there because on the climbing wall/zip wire you can conquer your fear of heights.” (Poppy)
