The atmosphere on camp was always one of jokes and liveliness. I enjoyed having a camper to help because it prevented me from feeling like a ‘newbie’ and I was always busy. My personal skills have been challenged and developed. Any hard times were short lived due to all the support from more experienced helpers. Overall camp was an extremely positive and rewarding experience.

My first experience of Woodlarks was Trekkers camp. Whilst madness and mayhem seemed to prevail it was a really rewarding experience. The best part was seeing camper’s faces when they tried something they never thought would be possible. It was my first real experience of working with disabled people and has really changed my perspectives. I have since been back 3 times and intend to keep coming for years!

I came to the camp not sure what to expect as I didn't know how I would be treated coming to do my residential, especially because I had came from a long way away. After just a week at Trekkers I have already made some lifelong friends and am eagerly awaiting next years camp and this is all due to what is done at Trekkers. The camp and its organisers treat all helpers equally so you are in no way discriminated against on the terms of what previous care experience you have. Trekkers offers a friendly fun environment in which to do your residential and it is a valuable idea to do Dofe at 17/18 as seeing what it is like to care for others is great preparation for deciding future career possibilities. In addition it makes us all grateful that we are fortunate enough to be able to do most every day tasks and helping others all week lets you see what you take for granted. I enjoyed every second of Trekkers 2009 and can't wait to come to camp again sometime soon. Out of the 5 dofe folk last year all are coming back next year, they must be doing something right!
