‘Thank you all so much for providing us once again with such a fantastic venue for the Resurgence summer camp. As ever, the site looked wonderful, the food was delicious, the facilities were great and the welcome was warm.’ Resurgence 2005.

‘Coming here I feel like I’m part of a goddam revolution.’ Chris of Spindle Wayfarer, Storyteller at Resurgence 2004.
