Feedback from Parents

Thanks to all involved! He really enjoyed the camp. Getting to meet new people in a fun way will take that anxiety off starting something new so we’re grateful for that. He had the best time yesterday at hidden valley. Thanks for providing such a great service, will definitely be recommending to others!

He had a great time. He made some new friends and really enjoys taking part in the various camps provided by Carlow Regional Youth Services. I recommend them to everyone and regularly share them on my social media they are an invaluable service to our young people. Thanks a million.

A huge thanks to you and the other leaders for the brilliant stepping stones camp. She loved every second and came home energised and enthusiastic every day and looking forward to seeing everyone again the following day. It was a wonderful experience. Well done to you and the team for creating such a warm and convivial, safe space for the young people – who went in not knowing each other and came away as friends. This quickly formed camaraderie can only be a reflection of how your team works together and models positive relationships and thereby sets the standards for the young people.
