Customer testimonial

“I just wanted to drop you a note to say how fantastic our son’s first session was. This is our first camp with Fortitude and the energy and passion your coaches exuded was amazing. Jacob was made to feel so welcome and came away having learnt something as well as having a great laugh. We’ve been to a few other camps and never had the one on one attention received last week. So a big thank you from us and we can’t wait to see you again.”
