SOS Outdoor Centre is situated just outside Villiersdorp, only an hour's drive from Cape Town. SOS is a registered public benefit and non-profitable organisation (NPO 004-235) and forms part of the Theewaters Conservancy.

School in the Wilds is the outdoor education facility that we run during the week (Monday to Friday) all through the school term. SOS is a rustic bush camp with only basic amenities. The campsite offers magnificent views of the Theewaterskloof Dam, walks and hikes through the Fynbos to waterfalls in the mountains and a large variety of birdlife as well as farm and other interesting animals.

Our two recently revamped campsites (River and Mountain Site) serve as an excellent breakaway for a weekend or holiday camp. We have two beautiful new cottages at each camp site. Both cottages can sleep 8 people.

All of this forms part of the true outdoor experience you can enjoy here at SOS. We are serious about what we're doing here and trying to achieve.

To generate a love and respect, as well as an awareness of the outdoors, at the same time fostering environmental responsibility;

To promote interest in and educate all people in outdoor and environmental education;

To promote and encourage relations between different cultural and ethnic groups, especially amongst the youth.
