Program Reviews

My experience on the tour was great because it brought lots of people from all over to come and spend time with each other and get to know each other better. All the activities we did brought us all together.Everyone that went and all the leaders of the camp where all welcoming and kind towards each other which made the tour a-lot more fun. The activities that we did where fun and we where constantly doing something which was good because we where never sitting still and doing nothing,I would definitely recommend for anybody to come and try out and visit the camp

Was the best week of my life. Learned and did so much. It was amazing. They learn you to face your fear. They also build up your self-esteem up so much. The staff are so motivated and make you believe so much in yourself. The energy of the entire program are amazing. There is never a dull moment the entire time. The food are absolutely to die for and at the same time healthy. No matter how bad you did at something they wil always gives you a positive inspiration talk. I whould do it anytime again.

I was having quite a stressful time with my exams, but my moms very next words was the silver lining to my year, "Your going on a Warriors Camp as your Christmas present!" My stressful week suddenly seemed just a little bit more calm. The time had come, I was on my way; to new places, new friends, new adventures! I was absolutely shocked at the extent of quality of the activities we did. I'm an absolute adrenaline junky and I love nature! I would definately recommend this to someone that is adventurous and overall wants to explore, not only nature, but also grow their own character. We learnt that it does not matter where you come from, who you are, what your background is, we are all human and that everyone deserves a chance and deserves a place in this extraordinary world! ❤

This was the best adventure experience I have ever experienced. I would not mind doing this again or doing the gap year programme. It was fun and inspirational. I have taken a lot from this experience and would love to continue doing similar activities. I recommend this programme to everyone who loves adventure and loves new experiences. It helps people overcome their fears and overcome the fear of interacting with strangers. It helps build character and can help you improve on your confidence. I highly recommend this programme for a gap year or a week's adventure experience

Warriors is a comprehensive gap year programme designed to allow youngsters to grow into capable, confident and emotionally mature young adults. It is packed with activity which covers physical endurance, overcoming fears, adventure and extreme adrenalin experiences, as well as self awareness, problem solving, and skills development. It teaches the participants teamwork, but also individual independence, perseverance and discipline. They learn that when they break the rules there are consequences, but also to then get over it and move on. Everything is aimed at personal development and improvement, while still having fun and the adventure and experience of a lifetime. My daughter benefitted hugely from this programme - it was exactly what she needed as a school leaver who needed to "find herself".

Great program for those wanting a gap year to grow and mature. To experience the natural world around them. To learn team work and self management, To be able to be self sufficient and be an asset in the world today.
Meeting people from all over the world, learning how to get along with all types of people and how to manage difficult situations in life.
Becoming physically aware, exercising and learning healthy ways to live and look after your body.(cycling . hiking, food nutrition etc)
Seeing South Africa and surrounding countries in all their beauty, learning different cultures (although Covid put a damper on that this year)
Learning to care for the less fortunate than ourselves (doing outreaches)

When Our son Stephen finished school he was very unsure about what he wanted to do for his future. We then found the Warriors program and enrolled Stephen for the full year 2020. When he left for the first quest in Feb 2020, little did we know that we would only see him again 9 months later due to Covid related travel restrictions.
Not only did Stephen experience the most exciting, amazing and wonderful adventures in this year, but he became more confident, committed and positive within himself throughout. He has learnt to understand the values of healthy living and exercising and Enjoys the lifestyle too.
The Warriors family was amazing throughout. When the first lockdown came in April, they offered to keep the children there on very short notice, the whole world was unsure about this new situation, but Warriors kept the team going, kept them motivated and positive throughout. There could not have been a better place for our youngsters to have spent this crazy time.
The Warriors team are an amazing crowd, passionate about what they do, each child is part of this big amazing family, there is discipline, but there is fun. We as parents can only say a very big thank you to the team and what the part they play in Stephens life.

We sent our son to the Warrior's for a whole year. He left home feeling lost, confused and without any direction. After a few months we started to see him open up and grow. He came back after the year, a changed man!! He learnt so many life skills and had so much fun doing all the activities. The program is really very well structured and presented with so much love, care and professionalism. In spite of the covid situation, the Warriors team managed to keep the program going, without missing out on a lot. For that we were really grateful. I can absolutely recommend this to any child, no matter what their circumstances.

When our son finished high school he did not know what he wanted to do going forward. We found WARRIORS and enrolled him for all four Quests for 2020. Stephen left for SA in February 2020, little did we know that we would only see him 9 months later due to Covid travel restrictions.
Stephen's Warriors year was not only filled with the most unique and amazing experiences, but he has grown tremendously as a person.
Throughout lockdown the Warriors team kept the group together, they kept them going, kept them positive and active, there could not have been a better place for Stephen to experience these 'unique ' times.
We ar grateful for Stephen to have had this opportunity and guidance, we know, this year has given him positive building blocks for life on all levels.
Thank you WARRIORS!

My son had the most wonderful experience, having started with a seven week course he stayed for another 14 weeks, he only returned because of covid repatriation and university looming, otherwise he would have stayed longer.
He has grown, developed and matured throughout his time at Warriors and he speaks fondly of his time there the lessons learnt and the future adventures he would like to undertake.
He has become a true Warrior and is part of the Warrior family, which for him is especially important.
