FAMILY CAMPS (cyling / triathlon or mtb)

3YO Offer’s a family camp to remember. Besides a intensive packed training week, we also planned many other activities for the non sporty family members. Cycling will include some of the most scenic rides in the world with views of surrounding mountains and vineyards and traversing mountain passes. Running will be done on the road or the beautiful Stellenbosch trails. The open water swim will be at a private dam on a wine farm, afterwards you can visit the family friendly night market on the farm. Mountain bike and trail runs in nature reserves can be added to your weekly program.

The camp will include a safari drive, fun wine tasting outings and a day trip to Cape town. During the training week you will have access to a high performance gym and an 50 meter outdoor pool. 3YO endeavours to take out the headache of planning your training holiday from transfers to/from the airport and between activities to your accommodation for the week. An unforgetable family holiday whilst you train under the African sun.

Ps, if you have any other wishes, please let us know! We can tailor made your camp.

Outdoor sports lovers are spoilt for choice as mountain bike and running trails meander through fynbos, mountains and vineyards. Mountains, hills, valleys, forests and streams offer unequalled opportunities for both the outdoor and adventure enthusiast.

There are more than 200 restaurants offering the most basic dishes to over-the-top and 5-star dining experiences, set both in the town and on many of the wine farms. A special aura abounds within restaurants housed in Cape Dutch buildings, while those with ultra-modern interiors reflect the diversity that is dining in Stellenbosch. Fine dining restaurants, laid-back bistros, coffee shops, sidewalk cafés and fast food outlets abound and offer traditional Cape cuisine and South African specialities, to the most exotic international cuisine.

Open water swim

Open-water swimming is often the most daunting part of a triathlon, especially for newcomers. With cold water, tight wetsuits and murky lakes to contend with, it’s not surprising first-timers, not to mention more experienced athletes, can become panic-stricken in the water come race day. However, by regularly putting into practice in our open-water sessions, and using the excellent open-water swim facilities at Boschendal there’s no reason why even the most nervous of swimmers can’t overcome their fears.

Night market

After the open water swim we will visit the night market at Boschendal for some nice farm meals and a drink

All our athletes have access to the Maties sports center. It contains weight training areas which are equipped with a large variety of equipment that allow a large number of members to train simultaneously.

The gym also has large variety of cardiovascular training equipment including stationary cycles, elliptical trainers, indoor rowers, steppers and treadmills.
