Cadets Canada
Summer is now upon us. Students will be home from school, and many parents will now be wondering what their children could do for the summer holidays. One option is to have them join the largest youth organization in Canada, Cadets Canada. Cadets is a national program for youth ages 12 to 18 who want to make new friends, while participating in fun and challenging activities. The Cadet Program helps young citizens develop decision making and teamwork skills, while increasing their self-confidence. It also develops citizenship and leadership ideals in young Canadians while promoting physical fitness and a healthy lifestyle.
The Cadet Program contains three separate elements: sea, army and air. While all three elements share common training, each program also has its own distinct focus. The Sea Cadets focus on seamanship and learning to sail, the Army Cadets focus on outdoor adventure, and the Air Cadets focus on principles of aviation and learning to fly. While cadets will learn about the Canadian Forces, they are not members of the military, nor are they expected to join.
The Cadet Program is locally based, through Cadet units in our area. Cadets Canada also offers summer training courses stationed at a number of centres across the province, like a summer camp. These summer training courses offer a more in-depth experience to Cadets.
Thanks to the support given by the Government of Canada through the Department of National Defence, the Cadets Program is free. There are no registration fees or dues to join the Cadet Program. Upon joining, uniforms and accessories are provided free of charge.
Cadets Canada offers an extraordinary experience for Canada`s youth. The Cadet Program is open to both boys and girls between the ages of 12 and 18. For many, the Cadets are a perfect fit, providing an educational and enjoyable activity for those beyond the age of some camps, while too young for summer employment.
For over 100 years, Cadets Canada has helped prepare today’s young Canadians to become tomorrow’s leaders. Take a look at Cadets Canada. You might find it is the perfect thing for your children to enrol in this summer season.
Carrie and I, and our two boys, wish you and your family a good summer. We look forward to seeing you at many of the local events in our communities.
