Belonging and Breakthroughs

A parent from Orange Farm shares how Camp Sizanani transformed their son's life. Struggling emotionally and academically due to his parents' divorce and father's neglect, the boy found healing, support, and a sense of belonging at the camp. Through activities, team-building exercises, and the encouragement of counselors and peers, he regained self-esteem, overcame academic challenges, and returned home with purpose and determination. "After attending the camp, I witnessed a remarkable transformation in my son. The camp's activities and supportive atmosphere provided him with an outlet to express and process his feelings in a positive way. The counselors and his fellow campers, particularly his new friend, welcomed him with open arms and gave him a sense of belonging and understanding that he had been missing. Through team-building exercises and workshops, my son regained his self-esteem and overcame his academic struggles. He returned from the camp with a newfound purpose and determination, and his grades significantly improved. I am forever grateful to Camp Sizanani for helping my son overcome his difficulties and become a happier and more confident individual. As proof of this transformation, he has been accepted into the University of Free State, where he will study BSc Physics majoring in Microbiology and Genetics. I am incredibly proud of my son's growth and development, and I have Camp Sizanani to thank for it."
