4 Week SL - French River - July – Y Camp Pine Crest

The 4-week French River program is ideal for senior leadership participants who wish to divide their time between a wilderness expedition and in-camp programming. Participants will spend a week and a half at Pine Crest participating in leadership development and skill building, before embarking on an 8-day, 103km flat-water canoe trip through the iconic French River Provincial Park. During this trip, they will learn the important skills it takes to guide a successful canoe trip. Upon their return to camp, participants will collaborate on programming and leadership initiatives and reflect on their experiences at Pine Crest. Throughout the month, participants will participate in leadership placements, where they will shadow in areas around camp, such as in cabins, day camp, in the kitchen, on the maintenance team, or in our tripping department. These provide amazing opportunities to learn about working at camp and honing their leadership skills. Please note this trip is an all-gendered program, accommodations both on trip and at camp will be all-gender. Skill Level: Beginner Some experience with canoe tripping is recommended. What to expect: Taking a leadership role at camp through placements, stewardship and leading activities, taking a leadership role on trip with a variety of long paddling days, portaging, and leadership activities at site.
