Summer camps are the heart of the LIFEbeat programme. They enable participants to challenge themselves, develop new skills, expand their creativity and make friends for life.
I used to shy away from meeting new people and trying new things, but the camp has changed that. I would recommend this to anybody.” – Billy, 17
