Leaders in Training Camp

Our Leaders in Training Camp is perfect for youth between the ages of 13 and 15. It focuses on building confidence and developing teamwork and leadership abilities. Through multiple workshops on topics such as communication, group facilitation, program planning and preparedness, along with interactive debriefing sessions, participants move a step closer to job readiness. They gain an in-depth understanding of program planning and group facilitation, as well as basic childcare practices.   

Volunteering is a major component. Youth in this camp are placed in ongoing Gee-Gees camps programs and matched with counsellors, to get hands-on working experience within a large team setting.  

Campers leave with:  

• Campers enrolled in Session 1,3 and 5 will receive a first aid certification, and those enrolled in session 2 and 4 will receive high five certification.
