Cadet Summer Training
Cadet Summer Training
Coming soon
Summer camps are a great experience to compliment the training and activities that we have at our squadron. Please read the information below to see what is available to you and to learn how to maximize your chances of being selected for a summer camp.
Unfortunately, we are not able to send each and every cadet to summer camp. The number of spots available at all of the summer camps in Canada are about 30% of the total cadet population. We do work very hard to send as many cadets as possible whenever a spare slot becomes available.
Squadron Selection Process
For the past few years, we have used a scoring system to select cadets for summer camp. The cadets who have more points have a greater chance of being sent to camp. We think it is a very fair and unbiased system. Criteria that are used to assess cadets may include:
- Attendance during Mandatory Training Nights (Mondays)
- Participation in citizenship activities (Ex: Remembrance Day Ceremony)
- Participation in fundraising activities
- Participation in optional training
Other factors are considered for camps with specific selection criteria. For example, the Fitness and Sports Instructor course requires a minimum level of fitness, so we use a fitness test to further aid in our selection. Another example is the Rifle Coaching Course. We will give a higher priority for cadets who participate regularly in our marksmanship program.
Available Courses
The courses available to the cadets is based on their level of training. Also, some courses have age requirements or other criteria that need to be met.
Courses for Level 1 cadets:
Courses for Level 2 and up cadets:
