Testimonials from our camp in 2021:
"The camp was well organised, had a clear structure and an ethical slant. My daughter had a chance to be creative and fun in a kind environment."

"I've learned much more about sustainable fashion! I also really liked the projects we were doing and that we had the time to make them. The videos that we watched were easy for me to understand, and I also liked it when we went to the park and played some games! I would gladly want to participate again in the future. :)"
