“Sometimes you see participants have a lightbulb moment, when they step out of their comfort zone, face and conquer their fear and realise the potential within them” - Tonya Burton
OUTSTANDING GROUP CAMPS AND DAY ADVENTURES
School Camps
We have provided over 200 000 learners with outdoor learning adventures that have changed their lives.
We specialise in leadership and teambuilding break-though experiences to help get organisational morale back while preparing employees for a brave new world.
Looking for some adventure activities when you are in Hogsback? Or do you want an amazing birthday or unforgettable special occasion? Then let us put together a programme for you!
Hobbiton is situated in the quaint magical village of Hogsback, high up in the Amathola mountains. Here you can breathe in fresh air, go on hikes past waterfalls and in the oldest Afromontane forest in South Africa.
Our world class equipment ensures that you experience the time of your life. Our Team is on hand to see to your safety. Climb walls, fly through the air from our trapeze, zip line to freedom, conquer Jacobs Ladder and much more! The sky’s the limit. We have it all.
All of the above, along with generous sponsors and donors make our outreach camps possible. We have been providing children from less fortunate circumstances a chance to change their lives and experience the magic of Hobbiton, while finding their potential, since 1945. We are a registered NGO.
Are you between the age of 18-30 and looking to make a difference? or did you plan to do an overseas gap year? Why don’t you learn some amazing skills while having fun and gaining leadership experience at the same time! Volunteer instructors will be exposed to variety of courses and facilitate the camps and workshops offered at Hobbiton.
Get some experience and get to know your strenghts and work on your weaknesses in preparation for a wonderful future.
"We have provided over 200 000 learners with outdoor learning adventures that have changed their lives.
The Covid-19 pandemic has had an extraordinary effect on the Centre’s ability to generate income and to put it bluntly, the only way we have survived into 2021 is because all of our loyal staff (reduced now to only nine in number) are taking severe salary cuts. Our meagre savings are almost entirely depleted. We are busy implementing strategies to continue our work, but we are appealing to you, to assist us to bridge this difficult period in our funding. We know that there are thousands of people in all corners of the globe who had the ‘Hobbiton Experience’ and who would be devastated should we be forced to close our doors. We hope that our appeal for financial assistance to tide us over this difficult period will not fall on deaf ears." Tonya Burton- Centre Manager
