My Surval experience as a winter camper was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I had to get out of my comfort zone meeting many new people and staying in a new environment for two months and I now have friends from all over the world. Since going to Surval I have become a lot more confident in myself and more independent. Surval has been the making of me!

At first I was nervous about skiing every week, but by the end of Winter Camp I was racing down red slopes with my new friends. Surval made me braver than I thought I could be.
