Welcome to Our Summer Camp!
Join us for an unforgettable summer experience at Hadeda Creek, nestled on the banks of the River Vaal. Our camp offers a unique blend of adventure, education, and fun, set in the stunning natural beauty of South Africa. The site is the Vredefort Dome UNESCO Heritage Site, just 15km outside of the popular tourist Free State town of Parys and under 2 2hour drive from OR Tambo International Airport. It is a tremendous location to experience the peace and tranquillity of South Africa and be mesmerized by the beauty of the country.
Why Attend a Physical Camp for Online School Students?
Social interaction is a crucial component of our development. As an online school, we provide a memorable and exciting socialization opportunity with our Summer Camp. Attending a physical summer camp provides invaluable benefits for learners:
• Social Interaction: Camp offers a unique opportunity for our learners to engage in face-toface interactions, foster friendships and improve social skills, and spend time with their teachers.
• Physical Activity: With a variety of outdoor adventures and sports, learners can stay active and healthy, which is crucial for their overall well-being.
• Hands-On Learning: Experience learning beyond the screen with interactive workshops and naturebased activities that promote practical knowledge and skills.
• Mental Well-Being: The natural environment and change of pace can reduce stress and enhance mental health, providing a refreshing break from the digital routine.
• Teamwork and Collaboration: Through group activities and team-building exercises, students develop cooperation and leadership skills that are essential for personal and academic growth.
• Unplugged Time: A chance to disconnect from screens and digital devices, allowing students to connect with nature and be present in the moment.
