Please enjoy and remember to leave a comment. 

Dear Beth,

I would like to say a huge thank you for taking my group to high ropes, for keeping us safe, teaching us how to work the ropes at the right time and how to use them properly. You encouraged us to get up on the ropes and keep on going even when someone was scared and wanted to come down.

It was really nice when you ate meals with us cause I loved to sit, talk and spill the tea with you and Saskia, cause you’re my English bestie ♡ ! We loved having you play kickball with us cause we needed the extra people to make it a lot more fun and you definitely made it more fun, especially because you were on my team. 

So I would like to say another huge thanks to you for looking after us, playing with us and having a great positive attitude towards us and the activities.

From Rosie ♡
