THE [IMPACT] INS & OUTS
[IMPACT] is a youth development brand for children and young adults aged 8 to 25.
Through Camps, Days, Retreats, Community and Experiences we create environments where young people move, discover and grow, within themselves and with each other.
Everything we build starts from the same six foundations. The age, format and content change. The base stays the same.
ONE VISION. FOUR LAYERS.
[IMPACT]
The brand and the vision: helping young people build strong foundations for life.
SIX FOUNDATIONS
The core of every programme we develop. Carried by experts in their field.
DIFFERENT LIFE STAGES
Young people between 8 and 25 have very different needs. In our events we translate our foundations to the specific needs of each life stage.
FORMATS AND ACTIVATIONS
The concrete format where everything comes together: Days, Camps, Retreats, Community and Hosted Experiences.
THE MEDIUM CHANGES.
THE FOUNDATIONS STAY.
Our six foundations are the base of everything we build at [IMPACT]. From that shared base, we always choose the format that fits the young people and what they need.
[01]
SELF-KNOWLEDGE
[02]
HEALTHY HABITS & LIFESTYLE
[03]
RESILIENCE
[04]
OWNERSHIP
[05]
HUMAN CONNECTION
[06]
TALENT & PASSION
HOW WE CREATE IMPACT.
Our approach lies in the whole. Body, nature, people, rhythm and food reinforce each other and create the right environment to grow.
THE BODY LEADS.
Movement gets young people out of their heads and closer to themselves. Through sport, play and physical challenge, self-knowledge, confidence and resilience become tangible.
ROOTED IN NATURE.
We hold our experiences in or close to nature as much as possible. Outdoors, there is room to move, to slow down and to pay attention again to yourself and the people around you.
CONNECTION COMES FIRST.
We work in small groups and consciously build a warm, family-like atmosphere. Coaches and experts don't stand above the group, they are part of it.
ONE EXPERIENCE. ONE STORY.
Our sessions are not separate parts. Content, movement, rest and reflection reinforce each other and are carried by one team with a shared vision. Everything is connected.
MADE AROUND THE TABLE.
Food is part of the experience too. Where possible we cook ourselves, eat together and make the table a place for rest, conversation and connection. That is why we will always make time for long, cosy meals together.
BUILT TO LAST.
What comes to life during an [IMPACT] experience should stay useful afterwards. We give young people insights and small habits that find their way to school, home, the sports club and everything that comes later.
WHO WE BUILD FOR.
Built for every stage of growth

14 to 18 years
Focus on mindset, identity, resilience, ambition, healthy habits and personal responsibility.

MIRTE RENS
FOUNDER

JEAN-MARC MWEMA
FOUNDER
Jean-Marc brings years of elite sport experience and knows from the inside what discipline, pressure, teamwork and performance do to a person.
He wants to use that experience not only to help young people perform better, but above all to give them something that reaches further than one camp, game or season.
FOUNDING TEAM AND EXPERTS
Our programmes are carried by coaches, mentors and experts who are strong in their field and can share their knowledge in a human, accessible way.
For each activity we put together the right team based on the age, format and goals of the programme.
We work with expertise in areas such as sport and movement, mental skills, nutrition, health, communication, personal development, talent, entrepreneurship and leadership.
Sound like you? You are strong in your field, you love working with young people and you feel at home in at least one of our foundations. Then we'd love to meet you.
OUR TEAM

JULIE DINGEMANS
EXPERT AND FOUNDING TEAM
Julie brings years of experience from her own practice and from working in sports clubs. She helps kids and young people let go of what holds them back, from fear of failure to memories of being bullied.
Behind the scenes she helps build the framework that connects all the coaches. Her dream: helping children simply be children again.
IN GOOD COMPANY.
We build [IMPACT] together with partners who believe in the same future for young people. With their expertise, reach and resources, we can work stronger, bring new ideas to life and reach more young people.
We choose partnerships that feel right: a shared vision, a genuine place in the story and the ambition to build something valuable together.
“From my own background, I know how much it means when someone believes in your growth. That is why I wanted to contribute to Impact Camp: to give more young people the chance to develop their self-confidence, mental strength and potential.”
IT’S ALL CONNECTED.
From content to look and feel
A strong experience lies in the whole: the content, the rhythm, the people, the meals and the small moments in between. Everything contributes to how young people feel and what they take away in the end.
We also design the setting and look and feel with care. We want to create events that feel warm and visually strong, bring people together and deliver real value for participants, coaches and partners.
