Goal

The funds raised by this project will be used to sponsor 30 Grade 6 learners from Cascade Primary School in Mitchell’s Plain to attend an experiential learning camp at Bridges Retreat Centre in Franschhoek, providing a life-impacting outdoor education experience that they would otherwise never have. Aligned to the national curriculum, the Outdoor Education Programme fosters cognitive, social-emotional, spiritual, and physical growth while developing values and leadership skills.

We are raising funds to give children from under-resourced communities access to life-changing outdoor education experiences they would otherwise never have.

Many South African learners face poverty, overcrowded schools, and limited opportunities to build confidence, resilience and leadership skills. The Bridges Outdoor Education Programme provides fully funded, curriculum-aligned camps for Grade 5–7 learners from no-fee schools in the Western Cape.

At camp, children step into a safe, inspiring environment where they grow emotionally, socially and physically through adventure activities, teamwork and guided reflection. Learners return to school with greater confidence, stronger relationships and renewed motivation to learn. Teachers report improved behaviour and more positive classroom dynamics.

Every donation helps cover transport, accommodation, meals, equipment and trained facilitators—ensuring that cost is never a barrier. By supporting this project, you are helping to change life trajectories, equipping young people with the skills, values and belief they need to thrive.
