Dear Sarah, How are you doing? It’s great to know that you’re planning to go to Buzz Camp. I’m sure that

this

experience will stand out in your life! I've already gone there in December 2019 and I loved it so much. I encourage you to go because there you’ll have the opportunity of making new friends and learning from them. The monitors usually propose activities which explore different abilities and likes,

for example

, dancing and cooking classes, fishing, painting and of course the most famous hiking of Sao Paulo!!! It is a bit difficult, I must confess, but believe me, the landscape is worth it!

However

, there are some downsides of camping that you need to have in mind. As the camp is close to rivers and mountains there are lots of mosquitoes so you should use repellent all the time.

Also

, sharing a bedroom and bathroom can be a challenge but if you have a problem you can talk to one of the monitors. I’d like to go with you, but unfortunately, I have to visit my grandmother she is turning 95! Maybe

summer we can go together? I hope you enjoy

this

unique experience! With love, Raquel.
