INTRODUCING SHE-IS-ME BOOT CAMPS!

Over the past two years We've witnessed Amazing growth patterns which lead us to a realization that the She-Is-Me Princesses require a better Vision and planning in terms of our She-Is-Me sessions and sleeping arrangements in order to realise better results. 

So this year for the first time, we are conducting She-is-Me sessions in a conference centre, and wait not just any other conference venue, but a Safari Lodge in heart of nature, called Ngomo Lodge. As you can see very cosy accommodation as shown by the photo on the left. You will also find more pictures of the venue in the next page.

I’m sure you will love magnificence and beauty of this venue. Besides the rates are also very pocket friendly and spacious allowing us to host the growing number of girls.

PROGRAM DESIGN & ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIESProgram Design: Please Note that Each Camp will be unique and focused on a different aspect and encourage attendance to each of them.

The RSD Model:We have come up with a well structured program for girls based on the RSD (Relate, Self, Develop) Model.

The RSD Model addresses different aspects of the girls development.

Social Responsibility:We also endeavour to include other activities such as collection of sanitary towels that will be handed over to other daughters from less privileged backgrounds.

JoggingThe girls will enjoy daily morning Jogs under the beautiful Safari morning sun! Wild Game Spotting!There will be lots of opportunities to see animals like Zebras, Springboks, and Warthogs among others Swimming!The lodge has a clean and well kept pool which will be accessible to the girls. Important to note that swimming will be supervised.Marsh Mallow Braai!Marsh Mallow Braai on the veld fire under millions of stars whilst sharing beautiful stories and sharing laughter.Peer to Peer Discussions This sessions will be key and will allow your daughter to network and build friendships with like minded peers.

SHE-IS-ME EXTRA GOODIES!CertificationShe-Is-Me programs are Now SETA Accredited! Which means that at the end of our programs your daughter will be presented with a certificate of attendance and a SITA accredited certificate.

Counsellors Starting this year, our programs will have counsellors on board who will be at hand to assist the girls who may be battling with certain issues, whether at home or at school. This program doesn’t substitute parental responsibility of seeking out counselling services for their daughters should they need them. Please note that, counselling ethics will be always be observed, as these are fully trained counsellors. Also should there be any concerns around your daughter then you will be informed, as everything will be done only to the best interest of your daughter.  

ScholarshipsThis boot camp is really a good value for money, it is an investment into your daughter’s future and we also understand that not all parents can afford to send their daughters to the boot camp and we are in the process of applying for funding so that we can offer such girls scholarships. Please note that we can only grant scholarships as we get funding and so this will depend on the funds that are available. I would therefore urge parents to indicate (in time), as this process is going to treated as first come first serve.  This will be done via our Website. Please visit our website, send us message that motivates why you would like your daughter to be considered for a scholarship. All the parents who have applied will get a response that indicate if their daughter has been able to get a scholarship or not.
