My kids have gone camping for the past five years and they absolutely adore it! The Butterfield kids are excited to start as LITs the next year and are looking forward to the activities.

Had a fantastic winter event, played on the ice, ate elegantly, unwinded by the fire, and slept comfortably.  No better time could have been had. Many thanks to Jon, Rachel, Itza, and Jackie for looking after us so well.
