• "Our group has very diverse cultural and religious backgrounds, comprising students from Iraq, Sierra Leone and China, to name a few. The atmosphere created by the Teen Ranch staff allowed students to develop a deeper understanding and appreciation of each other. Our group gained a greater awareness of life in Australia and enjoyed a unique and wonderful camping experience."
  Helen Lee, Head Teacher: Intensive English Centre, Lurnea High School
• "A great benefit of Teen Ranch is the cost - it is an all inclusive package price with no extra add ons. Also being in close proximity to our school, bus costs are really low. Our camp takes students out of the city and into the country and gives them a great experience of something completely different in very picturesque scenery."
  Chris Wyatt, Year 6 Teacher, Stage 3 Coordinator and K-6 Curriculum Coordinator, St Paul's Grammar, Penrith
