Wild Dog Experience

We hike into base camp with all our gear. It is not a long hike but can be intense even for experienced trekkers. We start each day by waking up with the sunrise and doing early morning fitness. Everything we do is largely on foot, getting to and from activities. It is all a fundamental part of the progressive development of your child and is why we have a minimum fitness requirement of needing to walk 2km in 30 minutes.

Campers learn practical life skills like developing true grit and resilience in the face of adversity, overcoming being apathetic, emotional fitness through to food management, teamwork, cooking, and cleaning, all of which is specially designed for setting them up for success in the real world.

We start every day by waking with sunrise to ensure an increase of serotonin to their minds, incorporating morning fitness not only creates good habits but drives mental fortitude empowering tenacity for them.

Engaging in exciting activities like "The adventure relay race and the Great Food Drop" challenge fosters teamwork, resourcefulness, and a sense of accomplishment. Thrilling rock climbing and slacklining provide opportunities to build courage and balance. It's not just fun; it's about personal growth.

Campers engage in workshops focused on modern values, confidence-building, self-worth development, and problem-solving. These skills are valuable for life's journey.

In the evenings, campfire seminars create spaces for stories, reflections, friendship, and profound lessons. We don't just offer an escape to the wild; we provide a journey of self-discovery. Participants emerge with newfound confidence, heightened tenacity and a deep sense of self-worth, ready to tackle life's challenges with resilience and compassion.

On the Wild Dog camps there is no communication from campers to the outside world. A core focus is to detox and become immersive in the experience. Our staff provide parents with regular updates while a camp is operating.

Set against the stunning backdrop of the Greater Kruger Park area, our camp provides opportunities for wildlife tracking, survival skills, and team-building challenges. Game drives and nature walks are not just adventures; they're lessons in biodiversity and keen observation.
