Meeting and Classroom Space
There is a fully equipped conference room, an outdoor amphitheatre, and a verandah for more informal meetings.
There are also several lounges which can function as break-out rooms. Additionally, the pleasant garden surroundings and beautiful view lend themselves well to small group sessions out of doors.
Masheke Mentor Centre
The newest addition to our White River Campus is a modern, well-equipped IT Centre to allow staff and students access to the world's research and resources through information technology. This facility has been created in support of C4L's on-line learning initiative, currently in development.
Accommodation and Dining
On site, C4L can house groups of up to 20 residential participants in comfortable twin bedded rooms, accommodating two or three, with en-suite bathrooms.
Menus for the nutritious meals and snacks include a selection of familiar foods for the participant group, served buffet style and enjoyed in our spacious dining room.
Rates For C4L's Conference Facilities
The current rates for the use of C4L's facility for your functions is available on request by sending an e-mail to
hospitality@c4l.org
or by writing to the address shown below. C4L's fee structure is based on:
- Use of conference room facilities
- Teas and lunches
- Dinner and bed & breakfast accomodation per day (on a room-sharing basis)
In this way, calculations can take into account both the guests who are residential, as well as those who are commuting to the C4L campus each day.
Orchard Camp
Orchard Camp was built in 2005 in the orchard on the C4L campus to provide a venue where capacity building in in both youth and children could be facilitated. Young people are more than welcome at C4L - they are a top priority.
There are four tent "villages" on the Orchard Campgrounds, consisting of two or three tents each – ten in all. In each tent are 7 steel beds - 5 for campers and 2 for counselors, and
each village has its own ablution block with showers, toilets &
sinks. Two of the “villages “are on one side of the camp grounds with other two on the opposite side, so that both young men or boys and young women or girls can attend camp concurrently.

There is a separate camp kitchen to serve the campers, and a hands-on
studio for arts and
crafts. The outdoor facilities consist of a large playing field for
sports and games, and the obstacle course with climbing wall for team
building exercises. The amphitheatre is perfect for sing-alongs and
camper get-togethers, although there is also a large meeting room
available for evening programs or
inclement weather. Additionally there are plenty of quiet places on
the grounds for small groups and one-on-one counselling sessions.
The
C4L Youth programme and the Orphans and Vulnerable Children's programme
use the Orchard Camp facility during the summer and winter school
breaks when C4L runs “psychosocial support” resilience building
camps. However, the Orchard Camp facilities are available during the
balance of the year for other groups holding camps, retreats, and
functions. It is ideal for scouting and guiding jamborees, youth
rallies, or holiday camps.
Obstacle Course
C4L has an obstacle course called Pilgrims' Progress consisting of 18 challenges, including a climbing wall. This course is ideally suited for team building for both adults and youth groups – in old clothes. This venue can be booked by itself, or as part of a full package. See Experiential Team Building on the Adult Learning page.
