NCS Anmeldelser 

I attended the NCS program with pilot at Aston Clinton, Kingswood and had the best week I could have ever had. The activities were all really fun and I loved getting to do the activities and meeting new people. I was worried about going but now I wish I could go back. I have made many friends which i am looking forward to meeting up with soon. This is an experience of a lifetime. I experienced some highs and lows whilst I was there but the leaders were there and very supportive and were there if you needed anything. The energy the leaders had made the experience even more enjoyable and it is a shame you can only do this once. I hope many others can go and have an amazing time like I did.

I meet great new friends and I had a lot of fun

My son had the best time, it was more fun than he expected and he got so much out the experience. I would recommend any student to go, and for parents it is really good value for money. Great job by everyone involved. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I attended the bideford NCS experience and had an amazing time. I was slightly worried no knowing many people and also being a year older than most other people (year 12), however thanks to the great staff and interactive group leaders, I quickly got stuck into each activity and got to know all 14 others in my group. I thought the days were very well planned, allowing enough time to rest and relax with people at lunch time and in the evening whilst also keeping busy throughout the rest of the day. One of my main goal when going was to gain some confidence socially which I can confidently say NCS has helped me with. I also feel more motivated at home, doing more than I normally would. I would recommend going as it is definitely worth your time and money, despite the food not being the best you’ve ever seen! Thank you to Finley, Oscar, Gigi, Kyan, Sophia, Michael, Harry and all the staff at the bideford ultimate adventure centre for a great time that will also help my chances of creating an attractive CV!

This place is shambolic; a disappointment. Dirty. The 5 days my daughter was there not once was a cleaner seen, whilst the dustbins in the bathroom overflowed. The food is mediocore at best, and tiny portions that are meant to feed growing teenagers.
Do yourself a favour and save your money. My kid was so looking forward to it, never had i seen such negativity from her. Its nothing like its advertised.
However the staff are really nice, they are young kids themselves (19 year olds) who dont know what's going on half the time, this is not their fault, NCS lies! Half the activities promised were not offered, or did not exist. You were not allowed any water based activities and the whole place was disorganised. However the majority of the activities that they did do were fun! Nevertheless a lot of the time was spent waiting around.

They said we would be in dorms inside with a floor for boys and a floor for girls, but when we arrived we were in tent like cabins outside. They said that we would be doing kayaking and raft building and would have a chance to be on the beach but later said we would be doing no water sports and weren’t allowed on the beach. the NCS team did not show up for the session we were promised and so we were made to sit around for the morning.

My son attended one of the camps and he had a brilliant time. It was his first time away from home that long . He said food and staff was amazing. Thank you

I haven't been there yet but it looks amazing and my mum's helped their before and she said it's amazing 🤩 I'm sooooo excited and can't wait.

Booked and paid deposit, heard nothing. A few months later received an email saying my daughter was on the waitlist. I called and enquired about other dates and decided to stick with original date and a place on the waitlist. I then received an email to say she had a place. When I called asking for further details-the incorrect dates were confirmed. These would never have been dates we had chosen as we are not even in the country. Apparently, she cannot go on the waitlist for the dates we had originally booked her in for. Shambolic organisation.

Signed up in February, paid £95 and didn’t hear anything then received email today saying the programme was full and that my daughter was on a waiting list. I rang and was told she and her friend could transfer to another programme where there were plenty of places. I provisionally agreed to swap pending approval for my daughter’s friend. When daughters friend tried to swap she was told that the programme was full! We have both now cancelled and requested a refund as the whole thing is clearly very badly managed. NCS used to be well organised.

Booked and paid in February and told 8 weeks later that on the waiting list.
Admin is an absolute shambles resulting in a disappointed teen.

I had so so much fun at Kingswood with NCS. I made connections with people I didn't know that well and had so much fun. Big thanks to Angelica, Josh, Nathaniel and Olamide (sorry don't know how to spell it) for making an already memorable trip unforgettable.

My young person totally enjoyed herself on the NCS program, made new friends, explored and willing to do it again. They did different activities.

She will be meeting with the group again.

The team leaders were fun and engaging and the activities and talks were very informative and fun

Best 5 days ever, our team leader was so kind an made sure everyone got involved, me and 3 of my friends spent the week in kingswood dearne valley and had the best time, we did archery, quick zip and high ropes, the food wasn’t that good and the cups weren’t very clean but everything else was pretty much amazing.

My daughter and her friends enjoyed a 5 night camping experience and loved every minit of it , from the staff to the activity’s a big shout out to the staff uzy , shubs, Isla , Charlton , what made there time away just brilliant .

Ncs was absolutely amazing. The tasks were entertaining and full with lots of teamwork and the staff were super helpful and kept us on our feet ❤️❤️

on the first day i did not enjoy, in fact i called my mum to get me. this was because someone was snoring extremely loud. i was then moved and it was all fine. the staff there where good especially Adam and Callum but ky-reeece was very very arrogant. he would not stop talking about how tall he was.

My son had a great time, he had so much fun and met amazing people.
The organisation's staff is great too always keeping parents updated .

Brilliant idea and great opportunity for young people to gain experience and skills, meet new friends and become more stronger. My daughter has had amazing time with this project.
