The CYL camp provides a fun, stimulating and safe environment where young people learn about - and practice - communication, self-awareness and leadership through co-operative activities. A typical day may include sessions, skits, co-op tours, sports or a guest speaker. Sessions are collaborative, and participants are encouraged to share in the day-to-day leadership and management of the program.
