Adventure Programs

We use two locations to host our camps. Our first location is at our new base, Genesaret, near Chrissiesmeer, Mpumalanga. There are over 2000 natural lakes in the area, with Genesaret being on the banks of Lake Chrissiesmeer, the biggest interior lake in South Africa. It is an exilirating environment for adventure, challenges, and seeing what you are made of. Below are some of the camps we are facilitating at Genesaret.

The second location is between Carolina and Machadodorp, set between beautiful gorges, waterfalls and natural surroundings – there is no electricity, no wifi, just nature in its serene and undisturbed form. Here we combine and enjoy day hikes with some climbs, weekend get-togethers and ministry focused on the whole family. *Safely accessible to vehicles high off the ground like bakkies and SUV’s; 4×4 or 2×4 prefered but not essential. Keep a look out for dates of family get-togethers, as there are limited space. Book your family’s place as soon as you can. Follow the link below to more information about family camps.

Yes, you can! Schools, churches, youth groups, businesses and organisations are welcome to host your own groups/camps at Genesaret. We can be as much or as little part of it as you desire. All Genesaret facilities and accommodation can be hired for your group/camp.

Genesaret is the go-to host for many camps, especially for school choir, sports, leadership, music and environmental camps. We are also sought after for women’s camps, church camps, youth groups, year-end camps for companies and organisations. We can assist with the planning of your camp, organising the facilities for your requirements and we can do the catering as well. Facilities is as such that you and your team can handle all the requirements of the camp yourselves too, if that is your choice.
