48-Day Trailblazers Counsellor-in-Training

Participants prepare to become camp counsellors through comprehensive training that combines learning, hands-on experience and leadership development. 

Over the 48-day program, more than 200 hours of workshops and training help them develop skills in activity leadership, communication, teamwork and risk management. 

They then put what they have learned into practice while working with camp groups and take part in a five-day canoe trip, an experience that further develops their independence and leadership skills.
