At the Holiday Day Camp we focus completely on nature and having good old fashion farm fun!!
Numbers dependent, we intend to divide the children into 3 age groups namely Gr R-3; Gr 4-5; Gr 6-7 with each group having it’s own facilitator.
Number of children to facilitator is kept to between 18 to 20 children at most. We are also up to 2 adults onside at Taaibosch at any given time during the Holiday Day Camp.
We have a number of Level 3 First Aid trained facilitators who spend their mornings with our Day Campers.
Our daily routine is a constant:
8 – 8:15am Arrival: Please can we ask you to keep strictly to this time by not arriving early or late. Should you have an emergence, whatsapp 072 238 4467 to make an arrangement.

EVERY DAY there will be something fun to do for EVERYONE!
Our TNE (True North Experiences) facilitators are young people who are passionate about relationship, building into the next generation and being outdoors, surrounded by nature and love the adventure that life throws at them. We have 3 to 4 Level 3 First Aid trained and accredited facilitators onsite at any given time.
Our facilitators are trained to adapt to the needs of the children and the circumstances they find ourselves in, and they do this with ease.
Please remember that our activities and the running of the program below, depend on a number of ever changing factors. To accommodate weather, number of children present and the needs of each child and where they are at, it is not always possible to follow our weekly program to the “T”.
Some of the things we might do in a day:
- fishing – catch & release (Gr 4 & up)
- bike riding (bikes are welcome daily to ride during break times, BUT there will always be a highlighted bike ride around the farm 2 – 3 times a week
- planting
- hiking
- bakkie ride through the farm
- water fun & splash games (no swimming)
- creating with clay
- a dance in a day: line dancing
- twig boat race
- painting with mud
- And loads more arts & crafts…………..!
All we do is hugely dependent on the number and nature of the children on the day as well as the weather….especially the wind!
It is our passion and purpose to meet each child where they are at, and as a group thoroughly enjoy the day together!
PLEASE NOTE THIS PLANNING IS MERELY A FORECAST AND CAN CHANGE AT ANY TIME DEPENDING ON GROUP DYNAMICS, NUMBER OF CHILDREN & THE WEATHER!
