We are a LEAP CENTRE (Learnership, experience and adventure program) and strive to bring kids from all backgrounds to experience nature, hoping to make a big impact on their future, leaving them with memories that will last a lifetime. We are based on the SAFCOL Nelshoogte Forestry Reserve (18 000 hectares) and can accommodate up to 200 students and 30 teachers/facilitators. We have sole use of the Queens River Nature Reserve for our trails and Bushcamps (4000 hectares). The children’s safety is of utmost importance to us, therefor we have a full-time nurse with 40 years’ experience heading our medical team with qualified medical personnel as needed per group.
