This program will train and certify 500 camp leaders in the ‘Leadership Level 1’ course, and 10 camp leaders as Instructors of this course.  The goal is to make these courses as close to free for the participants as possible by not charging the course materials fee, the first year’s membership in the OCC or the cost of instruction. 

Applicants or their employer will be responsible for any travel, food or accommodations required. Those people that receive the Instructor course for free will be required to volunteer for two Leadership Level 1 courses to be provided to camp leaders not working for their employer.

 

Before you apply be aware that:

• A student for the LL1 program must be at least 16 years of age
• An Applicant for the Instructor Course must have the skills and experience detailed on our website at http://outdoorcouncil.ca/Instructor_Training. To apply, both the application for free training (individual) and the application forms found on the Instructor Training page must be submitted. Once your application has been approved, you will emailed a code enabling you to register in the instructor course.

 

How to Apply

To initiate an application, the camp must complete and submit the online ‘Camp Application’ form. Once the camp has been accepted into the program, we will collect the names of sponsored individuals and arrange for their training..

If for any reason you have difficulties accessing the online application or you have any questions regarding such, please email Lynn Henderson at admin@outdoorcouncil.ca
