Warriors Gap Year Program Recommendation

I am beyond grateful for the incredibly opportunity I received to attend Warriors Gap Year Program. Through this experience, I gained a healthy routine of morning exercise, exploration, social and deep self-development, all while feeling supported by the wonderful staff, and guided through amazing adventures. I felt safe enough to face my fears and challenges. Warriors gave me the opportunity to tick many activities such as skydiving, and bungee jumping, off of my bucket list.

I highly recommend joining the community to change your life, and experience what you may have never imagined.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
The most nerve racking experience in spring quest was standing at the edge of the bridge to bungee jump. I overcame this by going for it, breathing and vibing to the fun music at the start. Trusting that I was safe and protected helped me to face this fear.
Pros
  • Bucket list worthy
  • Internal growth through facing a fear
  • Exhilarating
What other participants should know
  • Drama
  • Lots of distractions
  • Challenging to find peaceful alone time to reset

Warriors Academy

I've really enjoyed my time over the past 7 weeks and have grown alot as a person. We've made lifelong friendships, met many different people and now have so many more amazing memories. I was really looking forward to the Sun City experience however that was not fulfilled. We didn't end up going back to Polsmoore Prison after we weren't able to go in as we didn't have a booked time slot. We enjoyed all the traveling around South Africa to Cape Town and Johannesburg as well.

I'm really grateful for this opportunity.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Make the most of every opportunity you get offered, you don't want to regret anything.

  • Many eatouts with own pocket money
  • Didn't go back to Polsmoore prison

Warriors Gap Year

The Warriors Academy has taught me so much over the last year. It was the most fun I’ve had in a very long time. The friendships I’ve built are everlasting and have allowed me to see different cultures and views on several things. The venue is beautiful in the mountains with some of the best weather conditions ever, with the cleanest air you’ll ever taste. All the adventures and activities have benefited me immensely, and I will never forget the feeling the Warriors allowed me to feel and express with a great group of people.

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Doing the second highest bunjy jump

What was your funniest moment?
One of the funniest moments at Warriors was during a team challenge when we had to build a raft out of barrels and ropes. We were so confident — until our “masterpiece” sank the second we climbed on! Everyone ended up laughing, splashing, and trying to paddle with our hands. It was chaotic but hilarious, and it taught us teamwork and patience in the best way possible. Would you like me to turn that into a short paragraph for a reflection or speech?

Spring quest review

I have done 2 quests and would recommend this program over and over again. Anyone looking to find themselves or take a break after school should definitely look into doing Warriors. It has changed me for the better and I have grown so much as a person.

Warriors is a perfect opportunity for young adults (18-22) to get into some amazing activities and experiences that will change you physically and mentally. I have a new outlook on life and instead of being scared of doing things I’m scared of regretting not doing them later on in life…

What was the most nerve-racking moment and how did you overcome it?
Bungee jumping was the scariest thing I’ve ever done but I’m so glad I overcame my fear and jumped off that bridge
Pros
  • The food is excellent
  • Meeting people from all different cultures and backrounds
What other participants should know
  • The long drives

Warriors Quest 4

The Warriors experience is amazing and fun, and is a good opportunity for your children who lack direction in life. You'll grow as a person more than you could ever imagine and in ways you'd never expect. You will have an adventure of a lifetime and do things you'll never do in your life or would ever have thought to have done. This is an opportunity of a lifetime, and I really recommend this to anyone. We had a mechatronic engineer who needed a break and guys with jobs who needed more direction. This is for everyone.

What is your advice to future travelers on this program?
Just do everything and youll grow
Pros
  • Fitness gets built
  • You travel and explore
  • You make lifelong friends
What other participants should know
  • Facilitators have their weak moments
