Parent, Urban Explorers Program - January 2022
"I was very happy to see kids couldn't stop talking about their amazing experience and exciting challenges
they had in the camp, which they could never have virtually. In the beginning I was a bit worried to send them in the group, they've never met anyone before for long hours. But now I feel it was too short and hope to send them to a JUMP! Adventure again soon!
