Julia- Summer Quest 2023

Fear-False Evidence Appearing Real
A lesson I learnt in the first week of warriors, and a lesson I’ll take with me throughout my life. On this quest I was pushed, pulled, shoved, dared and scared, but if I wasn’t, then I wouldn’t have become stronger, had more courage, be more independent and be the bravest I could be, I arrived at base camp questioning signing up and Ieft with tears in my eyes whilst saying goodbye to my new family . We control our experiences, it’s up to us to make it a good experience. I can proudly say, this was the best experience of my life!

Pros
  • Friends for life
  • Always feeling productive
  • Discovering more about oneself
Cons
  • A lot of rain
  • Cycling is tough

Warriors Academy Summer Quest

Amazing experience I will remember for the rest of my life. 1st Quest was an opportunity to grow as an individual. I met new people that I will remember fondly forever. I wish I could go back and do it all over again. It was hard but fun at the same time. My fellow warriors were so funny and annoying but I loved and cared for them. I was able to be free around them and it felt so good. The food was amazing. We always got reactions of being late. The reactions were so funny because it didn’t feel like a reaction and our group was big on motivating each other. Everything was well organised. Warriors it is the place where hearts are found and connected. <3!

Pros
  • Personal Growth
  • Meeting new people
  • Comm
Cons
  • Expensive

Summer quest 2023

Amazing experience full of challenging, but fun, activities. A chance to meet amazing people from all over the world and be part of one amazing family. A opportunity to find yourself and discover that you are capable of more than you think. Warriors provides 24/7 support from their amazing facilitators and helps you grow, not just physically, but mentally. I discovered alot about who I am from just the first quest, and can't wait to improve throughout the year.
I would 100% recommend joining this amazing course.(plus there's a nice view)

Pros
  • Each day is a adventure
  • New friends
  • Finding one self
Cons
  • Wet shoes...constantly
  • The donkey
  • Mega mosquitoes

Hell yeah

100% would recommend, very out of your comfort zone but that’s kinda the point, the pure amount of growth I could see in everyone was amazing. This is a need in your life.

When I first got there I felt like I had just given my birth certificate to the reaper and that I was gonna gonna be locked up with these random people for seven weeks regretting my decision…. I then however ended up laughing, crying, screaming and pushing myself more than I have ever in my entire life. In summary, the best decision I’ve made ever<3

Pros
  • So much growth
  • Learning your limit
  • Meeting and getting to know so many different people
Cons
  • Early mornings
  • Pretty physical
  • Bugs

Warriors is AMAZING

Warriors is amazing! I had so much fun during these past 7 weeks and feel so much stronger as a person, emotionally, mentally and defnitly physically. No matter what happens you get so much support and love from the staff (especially Brad) and the people around you. I 100% recommend this quest for an amazing and unforgettable adventure where you'll make life long friends, memories that will age like fine wine and learn new things about yourself and your limits.

I can't wait to go back for the next quest :D

Pros
  • Personal growth
  • Support
  • Important life lessons
Cons
  • Expensive

Warriors 2023

This gap year program was truly life, I've only done the first quest for now but I feel like I've grown so much as a person physically and especially mentally. The challenges I faced pushed me so hard and i accomplished things I never I could ever accomplish myself. At times i felt like giving help but thanks to support of the facilitators and my fellow warriors I managed to overcome everything thrown at me.
The lessons I learnt at warriors academy will never be forgotten as well as the friends I made

Pros
  • Amazing staff, and facilitators
  • Extremely fun activities
  • Beautiful location

Summer quest-2023

The quest was super fun, all around great experience and made me come back for the second quest. The people there are really nice and kind. The morning exercise was great i can already see a difference in my body and mind. Overall the experience was truly fun and educational at the same time. I found myself saying, “Wow look how beautiful this is.” We visited some of the most beautiful places i have ever seen in my life and made memories with people that i would never forget. Highly recommend going to warriors if you can.

Pros
  • Definitely Brad
  • Injury free frisbee
  • Loving and caring people
Cons
  • The main light of my cabin was broken for the last 5 weeks of the quest and even after reporting it to multiple people it was never fixed

Warriors Spring Quest 2022

My 7 weeks at Warriors were one of the best weeks of my life. I am very happy and greatfull to be part of such an amazing group of people. The activities we did were insane! Survival was my favorite trip because it is a once-in-a-lifetime experience which gave me a lot of gratefullness. I have never done so many activities in only 7 weeks. Everyday you get the chance to learn something or experience new things. I never thought it was possible to become so close with a group of strangers you have only met 7 weeks ago, but I am very gratefull I now know you can. The rafting and hiking was amazing, but doing it with the Warriors made it even better. I would recommend every student who likes outdoor activities to take part in the gap-year program. I am very happy I made the decision to go and I will take it with me forever.

Pros
  • extraordinary experiences
  • surounded by amazing people
  • the ambiance at Warriors
Cons
  • limit in alcohol use and eat-outs
  • not much privacy
  • long bus rides

Warriors was the experience of a lifetime for me. The people I met and the experiences I had were completely out of this world and honestly I wish I could go back and do it all over again. It was hard but the feeling of accomplishment I had after all the activities was unmatched. The staff and my fellow warriors were so fun and I truly felt like I could be myself around them. The food was really good. Everything was well organized and I felt truly taken care of. I got to see all around south Africa and do amazing things like shy diving and bungee jumping. Base camp is also a really beautiful place that I feel is like my second home.

Pros
  • Amazing people
  • Great support from staff
  • Large variety of activities
Cons
  • Expensive
