OUR PROJECTS

FOREST ADVENTURE CENTRE

The Forest Adventure Centre is being developed as a Leadership and Skills Training Facility. Tucked away in the beautiful Hemel en Aarde valley, this facility now has cabin accommodation for groups up to 30, a camp site for up to 60 as well as support services of outdoor catering and adventure activities in partnership with Hermanus Forest Adventures.

FOREST THEATRE

The Forest Theater is a natural amphitheater, discovered in the forest after trees were cleared away from the ruins of an old farmhouse. The ruins form the stage backdrop at this stunning new entertainment venue, with lights in the trees and picnic seating. There have already been several wonderful concerts at the Forest Theater with performances by Chris Chameleon, Watershed and Nianell. Plans for this venue include talent shows, performing arts workshops for the youth and a starting point for challenge games. A special outdoor dinner theater is being launched in October 2012.

COURSES AND SERVICES

COURSES 

Courses are offered in four areas along with our training partners: business with Boland College, construction with various providers, Chef Assistant with Warwicks Chef School and Basic Computer. These skills training courses are supported by a unique blend of leadership sessions through InFynnite Solutions and our own Servol program experience. We take feedback from the business community about the kind of staff they want to hire, people with the right skills as well as the right attitude, and put together a life skills program followed by specialized training. These courses produce graduates willing to work with business owners and make a contribution to local economic development.

Coming soon: Btech courses in partnership with Prestige Academy, Cape Town Hospitality Management, E-Boffin and Events Management
