Warriors Academy Gap Year Program in South Africa

Best decision I ever made, woulde not trade the experience fort anything. Great way to meet people, get out of your comfort zone and learn about yourself.
Cabins are amazing, really good cook and verry active.
If I had the opportunity to come earlier than I did I most definitely would have.
Amazing people who do the course with you and incredible facilitator's who absolutely make it their jom to look after an make sure you are satisfied and comfortable with everything.
Awesome adventures all around,

This is not a time to say "no comment"! Our son, whom finished school in 2020, joined the Warriors for the first time during the Autumn quest. Where can one begin to try and encapsulate what this program means for its participants? For us as parents it was a difficult decision to make, not being the predictable route we took with our other children and also bearing in mind that our son was not the outdoorsy, adventurous type who liked to be out of his comfort zone (take note: at the time!). We now believe that if all young people could have the privilege to partake in such a program, the world would be an infinitely better place! In the short time he has been there, he has had a bucket load of bucket list experiences which are combined with life skill sessions of note. We are astounded at the personal growth he has experienced! He has learnt to embrace the joy of being alive and is more confident in his abilities to go beyond what seems to be the impossible, whilst at the same time learning to take responsibility for his own wellbeing and functioning as part of a diverse group. If you want to provide your child with an experience of a life time whilst simultaneously investing in his or her future - send them to Warriors! We cannot recommend this program enough. It is worth every penny and more.

Warriors taught me many things but I would say my highlight is it taught me my limits are far beyond what I had assumed them to be. My experience at warriors taught me who I was it helped me gain an idea of where my life was headed. Warriors taught me I am capable of great things. I do believe for many many years to come I will use these amazing life skills I learned at warriors in work in my relationships in my family. Warriors built me to be the person I am today and the person I will be for the rest of my life.

Heard about this program and thought it would be a good choice to get away from all the stress of life and have a good time full of adventures and learning opportunities and it was the best decision I ever made I met great people had great times I got lots of memories that I will take with me for life warriors is definately the best South Africa is such a beautiful country full of nice views and nice people and the experiences you go through are unmatched it's great no joke this really changed my view on life :)

There are no words to explain how this opportunity has not only changed my son's outlook on life, but mine as well. Life gets fast and furious and if not careful you completely miss it. The Warriors Adventure Academy has had me in tears and so emotional to say the least. The insane ability's you did not know existed within your child makes me SO VERY PROUD!!

The Academy has no end to what you child benefits from being there. From daily Routine to Teamwork and Life skills, all done with so much enthusiasm, strict rules and most of all Love.

Never could I imagine it would ever be so life changing. My son cant wait to get back after every Quest, as they make new friends and form companionship. I have two younger children and they will definitely be attending when the time comes!!!!

What an amazing experience!
This quest pushes you to get out of your comfort zone and grow as a person. I did things I never thought I would ever do and it was an amazing feeling. I made new friends that feels like family and they supported me through all the tough times and motivated me to get out of my comfort zone. At times I felt so alive and part of nature its hard to explain! My highlight of the quest was definitely when we went swimming at a waterfall in Kaapsehoop and painted ourselves with paint we made from rocks. Would recommend this gap year program 100%.

It was amazing
I learned many new things , made new friends and got to go on exciting adventures. I highly recommend this for anyone that wants to get out there comfort zone
You push your self to your limits and really no how far you can actually push yourself.
On this quest you really get to know yourself as a person through your suffering like when you do fitness and mental activities and how far you are able to push yourself or like on the cycle safari where we clucked 500km which sounds tough and is tough when you get started but if you push yourself you see that you are more than competent enough to do it

Warriors is an amazing gap year program that you will never regret doing. It offers you the opportunity to learn more about yourself and teaches you many valuable skills to apply to your daily life. You get to meet so many amazing people ( all the staff ) and make friends and memories that can last a lifetime. Although some of the things we do might be challenging, all of the instructors and facilitators are extremely supportive and help us to show that we are much stronger and capable of doing much more than we think. I would recommend Warriors to anyone looking to do a gap year
