Forty of our Bushbuckridge beneficiaries spent the month preparing for our second extreme sports camp as part of Module 4 of My Future, My Responsibility funded by the Nelson Mandela Children’s Fund.
The purpose of the extreme sports camp is to help our teens know that they can overcome their fears by participating in extreme sports and getting them to set new boundaries for themselves and to go beyond their self-imposed limits.
What they achieve is, knowing that that they can go tubing in a river or hiking for 3 hours which can be gruelling. They learn the power of pushing through no matter how tough it looks at first! Then 33 of them then headed to the Blyde Adventure Camp in Hoedpsruit on the 22nd and 23rd October 2011. Despite an incident around an encounter with a snake, the teens had a ball, in beautiful surroundings and doing activities such as tubing and zip lining that showed them they can overcome fear. By sponsoring a child, you can make sure he/she accesses opportunities like that! Join us, sponsor!
