Saturday Youth Clubs

Camp is only eight days. To maximize the experience, Global Camps Africa provides a follow-up program called Saturday Youth Clubs at several locations in Soweto. Hundreds of former campers attend the biweekly clubs each week. For five hours on Saturdays, the camp experience is reinforced through sports, games, theater, academic tutoring, and expanded life skills classes. Counselors deliver the Youth Club curriculum using the same approach employed at Camp Sizanani, focusing on supporting and empowering each child.  Youth Club participants are also connected to referral organizations for help with challenges they are facing at home and at school, including abuse, food insecurity, and poor access to healthcare.
