Cenet and Global Camps Africa (GCA) are excited to announce a transformative partnership that will bring the magic of summer camp to new horizons. Through this collaboration, Cenet will facilitate camp counselor positions at American summer camps for South African counselors from GCA’s Camp Sizanani, fostering international exchange and cultural enrichment.

As part of the partnership, Cenet is offering their BridgeUSA Camp Counselor program at no cost to the participating South African counselors. This initiative underscores Cenet’s commitment to promoting cultural understanding and global connections.

Moreover, Cenet has made a multi-year financial commitment to support GCA’s vital work in empowering South African youth through life-changing camp experiences. Camp Sizanani, GCA’s flagship program, provides underserved youth in South Africa with opportunities for personal growth, education, and skill-building.

“We are honored to partner with Global Camps Africa in their mission to uplift South African youth through the transformative power of camp,” said Michael Thompson, Senior Director of Programs at Cenet. “This collaboration not only strengthens cultural exchange but also aligns with our shared vision of creating meaningful impacts across borders.”

“This partnership is a natural extension of Cenet’s mission to promote cultural exchange,” Robyn Walker, CEO of Cenet, added. “By supporting the incredible work of Global Camps Africa, we are investing in the next generation of global citizens and leaders.”

Global Camps Africa’s Founder, Phil Lilienthal, expressed excitement about the partnership: “We are thrilled to join forces with Cenet to expand opportunities for our counselors and the youth we serve. The generosity of Cenet will allow us to strengthen the bridge between South Africa and the United States, offering transformative experiences for everyone involved.”

This partnership celebrates the power of camp to build bridges between cultures while supporting critical youth development programs. Together, Cenet and GCA are working to create a brighter future—one camp experience at a time.
