To protect the privacy of our families, we use illustrative images. The quotes below are based on feedback and experiences shared by previous participants.
"I thought we were the only ones who felt nervous. We weren't."
"I had butterflies in my stomach for days before we left. It turned out that many of the other families felt exactly the same way."
"We didn't know anyone when we arrived. Thankfully, that changed very quickly."
"We received such a warm welcome from day one, and the children quickly found new friends to play with."
"The best part was being able to take part at our own pace."
"There was always something to do, but we never felt pressured to join every activity."
"We came with our own challenges, but quickly felt that there was room for us just as we are."
"The children had a wonderful time, and we adults also got the chance to relax and enjoy the holiday."
"Before the holiday, we weren't sure if we should go. By Saturday, we didn't want to go home again."
"On the drive home, the children were already asking when we could come back again."
