Out and About...
In other exciting news, we have recently been privileged to receive a donation from the 31 Club to purchase camping equipment. We have wonderful new tents and gazebos and we are really excited to get some 'real' camps on the programme. These camps will run along the same lines as all of our other camps but we will camp outdoors, cook over the fire/skottel/potjie and learn lots of new things together! Keep a look out for further developments!
Thanks
We continue to be indebted to many people for the wonderful support we receive in order to continue running our programme.
