Junior Level 1 | Grade 5-6

Welcome to YLCC Leadership Development - This is the beginning of your modern YLCC journey with a real focus on the value of reflection and awareness. Campers will gain a strong introduction to the power of journalling, goal setting, communication and teamwork. And of course, complete with all the camp fun campers can handle!​

Junior Level 2 | Grade 6-7

Building on our level 1 experience or for those campers who have attended YLCC in the past, we will take a deeper dive into leadership as we begin to prepare campers for their high school journey.  This program features a more in-depth conversation about FLAGs -- Fearless Life-Altering Goals -- what it is they are thinking about pursuing in their lives, how they move their goals forward and start to understand the power of who they surround themselves with.

Intermediate | Grade 8-9

September brings with it the start of our campers next BIG chapter - High School. Intermediate campers will really take a much deeper dive into creating a “life-map”. So many students enter their high school years with little to no direction. Research proves that those students that have taken the time to understand the value of goal-setting are 80% more successful. Here's where campers begin to see the value of a team, the power of working together. Campers works towards a new level of self-directed journalling and reflection. 

Navigator | Grade 9-10

How do we as leaders impact the world around us? This program will focus on leadership in the environment. How we can as humans better work with nature to preserve if for generations to come. This will include an overnight camping trip using our beautiful, historic Algonquin Canoes. Campers will travel down the Ausable River to the Pinery Provincial Park. Campers will learn canoeing skills and camping skills. This will be combined with camp journalling and more leadership skills. We only have 8-10 spots for this program. 

Leader in Training | Grade 10-11

The group will learn about giving back, about leadership on the community level, how to recruit others to help complete a goal and will successfully create "something from nothing." 

Each camper will receive 20 hours of community service hours that can be used towards their high school requirements. Together the group will decide on an activity to make their world better. They will learn about some of history's greatest leaders and the traits they shared. 

Senior | Grade 10-11

In this program, our campers will put their leadership training to work, by planning and presenting our end-of-session final Bankit (Banquet). This activity is a real-life example of the value of teamwork, problem solving, creativity and the pride in an accomplishing a joint task. Over the week, campers will learn the three P’s of leadership management. Campers will worki as a group and truly find out what they are passionate about. 

Counsellor in Training | Grade 11-12

This is an 8-day program, with campers arriving one day earlier than the rest of the campers, in order to have 24 hours of intensive Leadership development with our directors. Each of our Directors will present a unique workshop to the CIT's during this time. 

Once the rest of our campers arrive,  our CIT’s will be paired with a seasoned counsellor to learn the skills involved in running a camp program. This program will give your campers a chance to gain valuable skills for the workplace and they will also receive a certificate in leadership development that is recognized by many universities and colleges. It also will be a great addition to their resume.
