Program Reviews

Unsure of what the future had in store.. I decided to embark on a journey into the unkown . Warriors , people you know for a week become like family .
Warriors was such a amazing and exciting time , and if given the chance I would do it all over again .
For that short moment you truly become part of something special .
So many amazing trips and activities . Taught me so much , and everyone helped me to push myself in a positive and encouraging environment.
Definitely something I would recommend.

I had a wonderful time at Warriors. Unfortunately I was unable to stay longer than the first quest for personal reasons. Despite only spending a short time with the program, I met incredible people from different walks of life. This helped me broaden my perspective on the world as I was engaging with people that I would have never spent time with without Warriors. Furthermore, the program challenged me mentally, and physically, while teaching me invaluable lessons in life that I am certain will be applicable for as long as I live! An incredible experience, one that I am very lucky to have been a part of.

Leaving school is a really daunting thing when you aren’t sure where you’re headed. Warriors helped me find my purpose and get to know myself - all while having the most incredible adventures. The memories of that time are still some of my best and the people I met are still friends today. How I wish I was 18 and could do it all over again! It’s a safe space where you can learn and grow, try new things, explore parts of one of the most beautiful countries in the whole world and have heaps of fun doing it!

The time I had at warriors was absolutely life changing. I did things I never thought I would do, met the most amazing people and had the opportunity to completely change my life for the better. Before I went to warriors I was kind of clueless on what to do with my life. But after the time I spent here I realized what I wanted to do and my life and future have never looked so bright. 10 out of 10 would definitely do this gap year again.

Side note: amazing staff and accommodation. Hella sexy chef; amazing burger, would go back for one of those bad boys alone.

At the beginning of 2019 I went to the Warriors Academy as an insecure, unsure individual. During my time at Warriors I experienced immense personal growth and developed various skills including social, emotional and outdoor skills. I received all the support I needed from my fellow warriors and the excellent warriors team. Most importantly it challenged me physically and mentally to overcome all obstacles I faced. It taught me that in life there will always be a certain amount of uncertainty, but the most important thing is our reaction to such unplanned occurrences. Special thanks to Courtney and Rowena for your strong female leadership and many kindnesses you showed me. Lastly to my fellow warriors of the first quest thank you for making the quest unforgettable, you will always be in my heart!

It was one the best experiences I hAve had in my life and recommended it to everyone looking for an adventure and to feel alive. You get to do things that most people can't experience ever in their life you also get the chance to meet people from other countries and backgrounds and cultures, you also get to experience activities that will have an impact on your life as this gap year allows you to experience and overcome some fears as well as alow you to achieve goals such as weight loss or to become more stronger, agile etc.

When I was thrust into the program, I didn't believe it until the morning I was greeted by my peers and my first day at Warriors had officially begun. I thought this was it, when in fact it WAS it, but not in the context I'd originally thought. Warriors was supposed to be just an occupation of time in my eyes, when it was in fact the time period in which I discovered my strengths and weaknesses, was equipped with the skills and knowledge to improve the former, remove the latter, and learned to strive for greatness.
The values that are instilled by this Gap Year program is what will set you apart and above the norm, and if you have doubts about joining this program, I guarantee you that it will impact your life in the most positive of forms.

Life changing experience. Would recommend to anyone and everyone. Learned a lot and gained a lot of new life skills (most mental ;). Made a bunch of new friends. Did things I never thought I would do. Saw the most amazing things. 10 out of 10 would definetly gap year hete again.

Amazing staff and accomodation. Great chef; makes verrrryy nicd burgers. Would go back for one of those bad boys alone.

Have never been this fit in my life.

In short: if youre looking to fill in your gap year I would 100 % recommend you doing it here.

I joined the Warriors Acadamy in 2019 for the 4th quest, and it was by far the best 2 months of the year. In just 7 weeks we hiked down the wild coast, paddled the orange river, skydived, bungee jumped and went kloofing. Through all these adventures the warrior's group welcomed me into their family even though they had known each other since the beginning of the year and I had only just met them. The Warriors Acadamy is such a unique program, I can not express to you the amount of positive impact it leaves on the students that attend and for that reason I'm going back in 2020 to do another quest or two.

This adventure tour was absolutely amazing, the howl week we did all tipe of adrenaline pumping stuff like kloofing ,jumping of a bridge and all other crazy stuff. I also absolutely loved meeting new people and form new frendships and get even closer with eatch other . The food was amazing it was really cool to make a belly on a fire and it was so dellicious . The big swing was amazing , dont let me even get starded on all the crazy stuff we all did. This is truely a awesome camp that helps people to get over their feirs . All the people that came on this tour was really cool they helped every were they could and we never had a depressing or negative moment that i also really enjoyed . The groups spirit and energy was really out of the ordenary this was truely a awesome camp with really fun activities .
