This camp is designed to build the following character traits:

Courage: The First Year Student Counsellors will be participating in many physical tests and skills in order to prepare them for greater teaching skills in the future. The campers will gain new found courage to try new things and gain new skills.
Responsibility: These campers will be one of the oldest groups at camp and with that they will be seen as role models to other campers. This will foster a sense of responsibility and ownership for their personal values.

First Year SCs

Participants must have completed Grade 9 before participating in this program. This program focuses on technical skill development, with an introduction to group leadership skills. First year SC’s will face the challenge of a six-day canoe trip, and the opportunity to earn nationally recognized certifications in lifesaving, first aid, and canoeing. Participants also refine their skills in YMCA Wanakita’s other activity areas such as archery, sailing, kayaking, and outdoor living skills. Group cooperation, self discipline and personal initiative are keys to a successful and fulfilling experience.

Included in the price of registration, First Year SCs receive a quality Salus Personal Floatation Device (PFD) with the YMCA Wanakita logo which can be worn for years to come!
