Summer Training Information!

Yes, it is that time again!  Initial summer training information is attached for your review.  Course descriptions, prerequisites, anticipated training dates and course duration are included.

Summer training in any format is a valuable opportunity for cadets to learn and solidify skills they started during the training year as well as expanding their horizons into new areas.  I highly recommend considering one of the open opportunities.

Year 1 cadets may only select CAP 1 training which is a 4-day experience held in day camp style format (no overnight component).  If the dates for the Guelph serial don’t work for you, please have a look at those in surrounding areas to see if they work better for you.  Please note though that you would be responsible for transportation to and from all locations.

Year 2 cadets may only select CAP 2 training which is a 7-day experience with an overnight component (2 nights 3 days away). Similar to the above, if the dates for the Guelph serial don’t work for you, please have a look at those in surrounding areas to see if they work better for you.  Please note though that you would be responsible for transportation to and from all locations.

Year 3 cadets and beyond have a number of in person training experiences ranging in length from 2 to 6 weeks.  The attached information describes all of them for you.

Not everyone is guaranteed to go however I always do everything in my power to ensure that those who wish to participate in summer training can do so.

Very shortly, a summer training request form will be created and posted for you to submit your choices.

Parent questions may be directed to the CO at co@rcsccajax.ca.
