Activities Week
Activities Week is a week in which all the boys, after their November exams, participate in a camp - usually between 4 to 7 days long. Each grade (with the exception of Grades 10 & 12) have their own "set" of camps from which they can choose from. Activities range from going on the Orange River to skydiving and hiking. Grade 10s participate in the Bishops Epic, a two week long adventure in the Cederberg Mountains, where special emphasis is put on surviving on the skills and talents of those in your group. During this two week long camp the boys are required to partake in a 24 Hour long "solo where they may not make any contact with other students. The aim of these camps is to get boys out of their comfort zone so that they can learn important life skills.
