Facilitators will help participants ages 15 to 16 blaze a trail towards co-operation, as we focus on our CYL community, learn to overcome communication challenges, and lead the way towards building great teamwork and co-operative leadership skills. You will lead activities focused on stereotyping, the rumour mill, the influence of social media, as well as diversity and equality. You will also encourage participants to take over leading their week at camp, while having fun exploring the great outdoors and leading traditional camp activities.

Saturday, July 27 to Friday, August 2, 2024
Facilitators will help participants ages 17 - 18 solidify their basic knowledge of the co-operative business model, supporting and fostering our future leaders, while providing them with the tools to make a difference in their communities. You will oversee participants working in teams to create a co-operative that addresses a need in their community, and develop a communication and marketing plan that will be presented to a panel of senior co-operative representatives for constructive feedback. Visionaries take over the responsibility of leading the camp with the support of their facilitators.
