RAW Please can I go again next year?
2016.....
Thankyou, thankyou, thank-you!! Charlotte had the time of her life!
Best week of the year - I’ll go again next year!
“Last week was an amazing experience,” said RAW leader Tom Crow. “I am so thankful I got the opportunity to be a leader this year. Bude was my first camp as a child 11 years ago. I wasn’t sure about going at first but my parents really encouraged me to go. After the 11 hour coach journey it didn’t take me long to realise how special RAW is to people like me. I found my spot in the Reach family. Coming back as a leader five years after my last camp meant there were a lot of new faces for me, and one very ugly one for the majority of the children. The older children were the youngest on my last camp and they were now onto their last camp! What a shock! All of the Reach children are out of this world. To be able to watch, help and advise on individual ways to complete activities and normal day to day things was so so rewarding. “We had a exceptional group of kids and adults who made up this year’s RAW family, not to forget Rascal the Cat. I would like to thank them all for the week, the laughs, the tears, the injuries, the sunburn after care and the friendly family feeling. The last week has reminded my what is important in life, and made me rethink a lot of things. “I encourage anyone thinking about coming to RAW as a child or adult to 100% go for it. There is nothing else in the world that can compare to this, Reach and RAW are truly a oneoff. We are all so lucky!”
