- Mission Statement:
We are proud to say that that the Warriors Academy has been running its Gap Year Program for over 17 years. If you are searching for a safe, adventurous and professional environment for personal and leadership growth, look no further. Our program pairs challenging adventure activities with personal growth and development workshops. Throughout the year our Warriors will travel around South Africa and across our borders, exploring and taking part in activities that include hiking, mountain biking, scuba diving, sailing, kloofing, river rafting and more. We also provide personal coaching and mentoring for our Warriors throughout the program to ensure that they have the tools necessary to overcome any obstacles and find their path in the world.
Our Gap Year Program is made up of 4 different seasonal Quests. Students are able to participate in individual Quests or all 4 as part of the full Gap Year Experience. -
