Creative Care outdoor Therapy and Nature Program
Rapping down to new heights at Golden Gate Highlands 🏞️🧗♀️
14th March was all about courage, connection, and healing in the great outdoors with our little ones from Leratong Children’s Home.
Through Holding Hope NPO’s Creative Care program, the kids took on Upsailing and the Mushroom Trail — rappelling, hiking, crossing streams, laughing through the muddy bits, and cheering each other on. Every step, every climb, every rope descent is part of their journey to healing.
That split second before they start rappelling… pure COURAGE. And making sure they’re secure before taking the leap is what it’s about — building trust, confidence, and resilience together.
Outdoor activities like this are gamechangers: they boost energy, strengthen bodies and lungs, reduce stress, and spark creativity. Nature really is the best classroom and the ultimate therapist 🌳💖
Shout to the crew that holds space for all the feels — some need a hug, some a pep talk, some just need to be themselves. Upsailing’s got room for it all.
After the adventure, we had swings and lunch, and ended the day with full hearts. dedicated Saturdays to these little ones 🤎
