Dearest Wendy,

Thank you so much for your generosity and initiatives to go the extra mile for our girls. It was indeed a wonderful experience we had at CAMP CHALLENGE.

Once again, a big thank you for making our camp happen, given the limited budget we had. My colleague and myself were heartened and touched by the efforts you and your team had put in for us and our girls. Thank you for travelling down to SCS for the discussion, and providing us food, insurance and giving us many fun activities that helped the girls to bond and challenge their limits. We had a great time, and will look forward to more collaborations next year. I’m delighted that some of my girls were inspired to become camp instructors. ☺ Well done!

On behalf of Hey BELLE, THANK YOU Wendy and CAMP CHALLENGE team!
