ABOUT

MCSA MINI CAMP 2021!


MCSA Paarl-Wellington is excited to invite you to the Mountain Club of South Africa's National Mini Camp for 2021, hosted in the Hawequas (meaning “Man in the Mountain”) mountains close to Wellington in the Cape. Mini Camp is happening from 4-10 October. 


Base camp will be set up at the Hawequas Scouts Adventure Centre. The Paarl/Wellington area is known for its heritage and several cultural walks are planned. Various family-friendly hikes (see below) will start from the Adventure Centre and for the more adventurous we’ll link up with other trails.


Some of the planned Hikes on the calendar include:


  • Dutoitskloof Peak
  • Felixberg Traverse
  • Klein Drakensteinkop
  • Botanic Walk @ Hawequas with John Wilson
  • Walk to Uplands Organic Farm for Wine Tasting
  • Hugenotekop


Every evening we will get together for a bring and braai and share the experiences of the day, followed by a briefing on the following day's hikes. On the last evening we will conclude with a spit braai to celebrate the epic adventures of Mini Camp.


The Adventure Centre is fully compliant with COVID protocols and participants can choose either camping or dorm accommodation with (spaced) bunks.


Ticket prices:



  • REQUIRED Permit fees @ R100 pp for the whole week (once-off), includes the Cheese and Wine on Monday.

  • Camping @ R75 pp per night
  • Bunk beds @ R120 pp per night
  • Annual Dinner (Lamb spit braai with roast veg, salads & garlic bread + Dessert) @ R280 per person.


The Annual MCSA Dinner will be a mountain smart-casual event and takes place on the last night of camp, Saturday evening.
