About us
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 offer a variety of camps, courses, and nature-inspired adventures suitable for students or adults, that will reignite your passion for life in general and the outdoors.
