Adventure and Holiday Camps

The Adventure Camp philosophy is to promote a fun experience that nurtures abilities, independence & teamwork in a background of safety & supervision while enjoying the outdoors, sports & sunshine.

This we achieve through awesome facilities & qualified staff who are committed to making it a cool & safe holiday experience for all age groups through appropriate entertainment, in a care filled atmosphere & proper organisation.

The Adventure Camp welcomes Youth between the ages of seven & seventeen.

Holiday Camps take place during school breaks, whilst term time is used for educational, environmental plus other.

Motor Biking and Quad Biking
Bring your motorbikes and quads and test your riding skills on our motor cross track, which includes some testing double jumps and a 30 meter table top. For the trail riding specialists we have over 700 hectares of breathtaking countryside to explore with rocky hillclimbs, rivercrossings, mudholes and some wide open grasslands for the speed freaks (just beware of the odd porcupine hole). We also have up to 30 Km of existing marked trails for those who would rather stick to the beaten track. Correct protective gear including a helmet at all times is compulsory on the farm.

Playground
For the kids we have the perfect playground to keep them busy for hours on end, with a colourful play tractor, swings, see-saw, roundabout, maypole & a jungle gym for the little ones.

Swimming Pool
Enjoy a swim in our large swimming pool, where lunches and refreshments are served on sunny days. The swimming pool is centrally situated with tennis court, bowls, pony rides and kids playground all in close viewing proximity. Enjoy a cold beer from our pool-side bar, while relaxing in the pool on the cocktail seats. Poolside activities and games are enjoyed by all during holiday season.
