CILT 1 is open to 15 year olds who want to learn leadership skills that can be used in all aspects of life. Participants are encouraged to develop a sense of self as they grow in understanding of leadership styles, group dynamics and communication skills. A two-night hiking outtrip, accessible for first-time outtrippers, is a great teambuilding and leadership experience. CILTs also enjoy classic camp activities throughout their two-week stay. Open-ended discussions about the meaning of life provide opportunities for growth.
CILT 1 campers must have turned 15 prior to January 1, 2026.
CILT 1A drop off is August 2 @ 3pm. Pick up is August 15 @ 10:30am.

Year 2 of the CILT program has a focus on counselling and other staffing skills for use in the context of camp. A two-night canoe outtrip is a great teambuilding and leadership experience for new and experienced canoers. CILT 2’s also have the opportunity to do a 1-2 week volunteer practicum (before or after the CILT session) where they are able to practice being a camp counsellor first-hand. This allows them to gain experience in working with campers while still being supervised by staff. Space is limited!
CILT 2 Applicants must have turned 16 prior to January 1, 2026.
CILT 2A drop off is July 5 @ 3pm. Pick up is July 18 @ 10:30am.
CILT 2B drop off is July 19 @ 3pm. Pick up is August 1 @ 10:30am.
CILTs will have access to laundry on weekends and can stay over at camp. CILTs doing practicum and the session consecutively can stay over at camp.
The cost for the CILT 2 experience is $1600 + tax.
