What we do
Expedition
Looking for adventure? Join us on expeditions to learn how to travel in various environments, acquire essential life skills that foster leadership qualities, and instil values of resilience, teamwork, and environmental stewardship.
​
As cadets progress to higher achievement levels, they can participate in longer and more difficult expeditions. These expeditions can include mountain biking, caving (exploring caves), canoeing, and white water rafting!
​
Survival Skills
Our cadets participate in summer and winter field training exercises. They learn how to build makeshift shelters and how to survive using what nature has to offer. This includes learning how to make a fire, find water, make themselves visible to rescue workers and many other useful skills.
Fitness & Teams
Our cadet program offers many sports and teams such as marksmanship, biathlon, climbing, and drill. In addition to practicing these activities at the unit, several summer camps are offered to improve skills in these disciplines and more. Each year, a few experienced cadets can work to qualify to participate in a parachuting course as well!
