“My son has been twice now and loved it Thanks to the coaches for everything. Even the food was a hit and stuff he wants to keep trying at home. He met great new friends had a lot of fun and learned a lot about fair playing and working great as a team. Every day he came home excited for the day after”
“The staff were welcoming and everyone made to feel included, so very inclusive no matter anyone’s difference. My nephew felt safe to stay the duration of the session, which I was surprised he wanted to stay until the end, which was amazing. He loved taking part in Dragons Den, he bought himself a McKenzie T shirt with his JD voucher, so thank you to all the Team for helping my child get lots of movement and exercise”
“They enjoyed the sporting options and it was nice for them to be active and play in a safe environment in the holidays. As I mentioned previously in my email.
