This cache is situated on the Porter Estate Tokai
The Estate is being used by different groups.
The Chrysalis Academy offers a social crime prevention and upliftment programme targeting "youth at risk". Its aim is to empower young people to take control of their lives and give them the tools to become economically productive and be positive change agents within their communities.
This metamorphosis will take them, via intense physical, mental and spiritual development away from a life which could turn to crime and gangsterism, to one with potential for personal growth, financial security and community service. It is a preventative initiative as opposed to a rehabilitation programme. This means that it is geared to developing young adults with assessed potential for growth, rather than solving or attempting to fix existing problems.
The target population is young people between the ages of 17 and 22 years old who have attained a minimum educational level of Grade 10 (Standard 8), are presently unemployed and have no criminal record. The programme is currently supported and funded by the Provincial Government. The Academy is situated on the Porter Estate in Tokai.
Started in June 2000, each programme accommodates between 100 and 120 students from the Western Cape, who have undergone a rigorous selection process. Participation is entirely voluntary, and free, to all who attend.
You can visit a produce market every Saturday at the Chrysalis Academy. A good reason to visit the Estate.
Red Watch Firefighting use the estate as a training venue. Another company involved in Mountain rescue has its training venue on the Estate.
The venue is frequently used for filming. A scene from "Invictus" was shot on the sports field with the giant jungle gym in the back ground.
Joggers and mountain bikers shouldn't have any problems going through the security gate at the Chrysalis Academy. If you are coming in by car, you will be required to sign in. Tell the security guard that you are visiting the obstacle course. Please do not wander between the buildings. Follow the signs for the outdoor camp and park at the parking coords.
The owner of the obstacle course is aware of the cache.
