“Beyond beautiful!” This description from someone who attended a camp at UCSA’s Karmel camp centre says it all.
The camp centre with its secluded location in the imposing Franschhoek Mountains, a river with natural pools for swimming close by, an abundance of lush fynbos vegetation, and never-ending vistas of majestic mountains against a backdrop of impressive cloud formations, exudes an atmosphere of freedom and adventure. Add to this the centre’s own, well-equipped facilities, and you’re set for a camp and adventure experience to remember.
The centre is ideal for adventure camps for youth, church and other groups, especially for programmes that require tranquillity in an isolated setting. The venue is furthermore a good choice for conferences, weddings, birthdays and other private functions.
