The countdown is on - 7 sleeps to go until Kingston camps begin! We had a chat with Camp Champs Makayla and Hayden with the aim of giving newcomers a true insight into KBA camps.
Makayla and Hayden attended KBA's 2023 winter camps and received their titles in recognition of the effort they put in at the camps.
