Thanks so much for taking such care of my daughter and fuelling her passion for music.
It was the best, most musical week of my life.
My son had another fantastic time in Aravon. When asked what did you like his response was ‘everything’
“
I made so many new friends and seeing what we can all do together made me really realise how much I love music.

I don’t think I have ever had so much fun. Best part of my summer by far!

I have learnt so much, made great friends and had a fantastic time. I’ve enjoyed every minute of my time at Aravon.
