Some 70 years ago, the late William Haines, who was a member of the Rotary Club of Cape Town, put up the first hut on his Glencairn farm, for use as a youth camp. William Haines was a great physical culturist, a physical training teacher at the South African College School.
Haines had a great vision of training youth of all cultures in physical pursuits for the betterment of mind and body.
When William Haines died on 15 February 1942, he bequeathed in his will, that his Glencairn property should be left to two organizations with whom he had many years of association. The smaller portion closer to the Glencairn beach was left to the Gordons Missionary Society. The larger section was left to the Rotary Club of Cape Town, with the instruction that a body be formed by the Rotary Club of Cape Town to administer this property.
