About See-en-Sand:

In 1971 a group of students from Paul Roos High School approached their teacher, Sparks Esterhuysen, to take them to the coastal town of Hermanus to share his extensive knowledge of the ocean with them. The enthusiasm with which this camp was received, convinced Sparks that there was a need for young adults to be taken out of their comfort zone, faced with challenging situations, and empowered with self-awareness and confidence to approach life with a unique outlook.

Today, we have expanded to offer a variety of outdoor adventure camps. Read more

WHAT PREVIOUS ATTENDEES HAVE TO SAY

"

Great fun. See-en-Sand builds character and personality. Graduates emerge more resilient, mentally stronger, better equipped to handle the challenges and opportunities that life will expose them to. All SA adolescent kids should get to enjoy such adventure and personal growth. If you can, sponsor a kid.

Firstly, I want to thank you and your See-en-Sand team for what really was a life changing experience for Emma. She loved every minute (kind of), and it honestly has been the best thing to happen for her this year. So, thank you all!

Dit was 'n great ondervinding vir die kinders en hulle het swaargekry, maar het ongelooflik baie geleer – ook van hulself en uithou en aanhou. Hulle kan steeds nie uitgepraat raak nie. Julle doen 'n great job.
