As the first tier of Camp Latona's exceptional leadership development courses, this 13 day program is designed for young people going into Grade 9 & 10 who are interested in wilderness exploration, leadership development and hard skills competency. Campers will also have the option to complete their Bronze Medallion & Bronze Cross Certifications. The Future Leaders in Training program takes campers through a number of shared challenges including a multi day canoe trip, where participants learn ‘hands on’ about effective communication, conflict resolution, judgement, decision making, and teamwork. Through shared challenges of this wilderness expedition, participants learn ‘hands on’ about effective communication, conflict resolution, judgement, decision making, and teamwork while also beginning to explore personal leadership styles and skills.

Over the course of the trip participants gain competency in route navigation with a map and compass, backcountry safety procedures and “Leave No Trace” environmental impact principles.
