About Us
Kidzone Holiday Camp is located in the Limpopo Province, on a 300 ha farm in Naboomspruit. Here young and teen campers can escape their regular lives and experience an unforgettable and unique adventure. Our exciting programs are designed to spark interest in new activities and let your young campers explore their wild and creative fun side. Each day offers something new, and campers can choose their own unique schedule to try something different or stick to some of their favourite activities.
Our Mission and Purpose
Our mission as a camp is to provide the ultimate holiday experience to teenagers and younger campers , all while offering a safe and positive inspiring environment. Since we started Kidzone in 2002 our philosophy has been one of inclusion and a non competitive spirit that brings children together. Kidzone believes in the individual and your right to free choice. Letting our campers choose their own schedule ensures they are focused, dedicated and excited to be at camp. Our location is a huge part of the success we experience with each camp. The clean air, farm life, and year round good weather, and malaria free, are fuel for our campers spirits and helps children remember what holidays should be about, fun with friends. Showing children life without phones and internet is of the upmost importance to us.
Our Typical Camper Profile
Our campers are boys and girls that range anywhere from 6 to 16 years old, and come from all over South Africa. We take pride in catering to each of our campers’ wants and needs, ensuring that they will have the best experience possible. Our kids love the outdoors and are not afraid to get dirty or back down from a challenge. Whether it is their first time away from home, or a returning camper, our camp care givers provide the highest levels of support and care.We want to make sure that each camper understands that they are our top priority and we are willing to move mountains for them. We have a whole group of care givers, and their only job is to ensure that their group of campers is happy, busy and getting everything they want from camp. Care givers also speak to parents regularly and give them updates on their kids while at camp.
Location
Our camp is fortunate enough to have the awe inspiring Waterberg Mountains surrounding us.Our location also helps to connect the campers with nature, increasing their awareness with the outdoors and the world surrounding them. We feel it is important to protect and preserve the surrounding area and do our best to engage in eco-friendly forms of energy and fun. We grow more and more fruits and veggies each year.
FAQs
What is Kidzone Holiday Camp all about?
We are a non-competitive sleep away camp for boys and girls 6 to 16 years old (young, tween and teenage campers). We emphasize team spirit and encourage our adventure campers to discover the great outdoors and their inner explorer in a safe and nurturing environment. We make everyday exciting, challenging, memorable, and incredibly fun. We are all about the laughs and smiles that happen every day.
What is the accommodation like? Are they safe and comfortable for my child?
Kids are accommodated gender specific inside our 7 bedroom farmstead. The rooms are large with separate bathrooms, huge kitchens and dining rooms. Campers can enjoy wide open spaces where we do our activities on a 300 ha farm. We know with teens and children that cleanliness can be an issue, we make sure the rooms are clean and sanitary every day. Each morning after breakfast the campers must pass a bunk inspection and prove their bunk is the cleanest. This adds to the quality of the overall experience that the campers have at Kidzone Holiday Camp.
Where is Kidzone Holiday Camp? How will my child get there?
We are 2 ½ hours away from Johannesburg, and 1 ¾ hours from Pretoria on the N1 route. Situated in the beautiful Bushveld in the Waterberg.
If we live out of the Limpopo Province, can my child still attend the camp?
Of course! We invite young campers from all over South Africa to come to our camp, and many do! Each summer we have kids from every single province in South Africa joining the camp.
Why should we trust you?
We are a second generation family run business that puts our campers first above all. We are a family, with 4 children of our own. Also, we have 13 years of fun safe summers. The South African Health Department visit us three times a year. We are also recognised by the Dept of Child Welfare in South Africa, and support some less fortunate children as part of our community obligation. All of our staff undergo extensive background checks and referencing before being hired by us personally. We uphold the best camping practices and pride ourselves on running the safest possible summer camp. Kidzone Holiday Camp is all we do, we spend all year making sure we are the best, most caring and responsive to our campers needs.
Who looks after my child?
The owners live on camp as do the care givers.. Every room has care givers living with the campers. We have a registered nurses on call 24 hours a day, and qualified emergency First Aid and CPR staff on site., and our camp doctor is only 20 minutes away. Our care givers , are an extra layer of supervision and caring. They ensure parents are kept well informed and that your child is safe, eating well, happy, making friends and getting everything they want from camp.
Can my child call home during the camp?
Yes, your child will call you once a week as will our child giver.. You are able to call to chat to your child as well. We know an overnight camp can be hard for the parents and would never say you could not speak to your child. The more a camper talks to his parents the stronger any homesickness will get. We do ask that you try to hold out and speak to your child on their regular call night, but again we will never say you cannot talk to your child.
My child is a picky eater, has allergies, is vegetarian or vegan, etc. Will they have something to eat at every meal?
We take great pride in the food served to our adventure campers and make sure every camper eats well. We cater to most specific diets and always have something for vegetarians and vegans at every meal. We can prepare food for almost any camper’s allergies and for
the pickiest of eaters.
Why Is Our Camp the Funnest Camp on Earth?
We specialize in fun – we know that kids just want to have fun. We pride ourselves in our ability to provide have good, clean, wholesome fun. We give kids a lifetime memorable experiences and friendships. We are aware that playing increases a persons creativity and social skills, we believe our campers really grow and mature while with us.
