Background
Gert and Salome de Bruin has been part of the Creare Training Centre - a Christian Arts and Recreational College and Gap Year in Bloemfontein since 2007 .
Gert majored in Music and Worship and Salome...well she can be called a mobile Creare Centre as she completed most of the subjects in all of the Academies.
Gert got involved with outdoor camping programs from 2007 but Salome has been helping and facilitating adventure camps from the age of 14. Gert headed up the Sports and Recreation Academy for a year but then both of them started touring with Creare throughout South Africa to teach the arts and facilitate youth gatherings and camps. They returned in 2012 to Bloemfontein where Gert took over the Skills Academy and pioneered practical skills development programs for children 6 years and up...all the while involved in camps on the side line. All of this along with the leading roles they had at the Children’s Church at Our Father’s Home , BFN has created a passion for leadership development and adventure experiential learning programs.
