Camps and adventures for Global competence beyond the classroom
AoGC empowers tomorrow’s leaders, one adventure at a time!!
At AoGC, we believe that true education goes beyond the classroom. As a top-leading school, we champion a holistic approach that equips students with the skills, confidence, and resilience needed to thrive in a global world.
Introducing our signature experience: The annual school camp.
Held every year, our school camp is a transformative three-day journey where students unlock their potential in a vibrant, outdoor setting. Our very first camp took place from 3 to 5 March 2025. We took time off from the classroom grind to Waterval Country Lodge in Tulbagh. Every child was part of this unforgettable camp.
What students gain from camp
Through a thoughtfully curated programme, students embark on an exciting path of discovery and growth:
- Teamwork and collaboration: Students learn to work effectively in diverse groups through engaging challenges and group tasks.
- Personal growth & independence: They gain confidence, self-reliance, and a deeper understanding of one’s own abilities
- Friendship & Social Skills: build lasting bonds and develop respectful & supportive relationships.
- Outdoor education & physical activity: reconnect with nature and embrace an active, healthy lifestyle.
- Critical Thinking & Problem Solving: approach real-life scenarios with creativity, logic, and resilience.
- Leadership & Responsibility: step into leadership roles and cultivate a sense of ownership and accountability.
- New Experiences & Fun Adventures: step outside comfort zones in a safe, fun-filled environment that sparks curiosity and courage.
Our camps are not just events – they are part of AoGC’s mission to shape well-rounded, future-ready individuals. Students return from this journey with more than just stories. They come back empowered, energised, and equipped with lifelong skills.
