This brand new co-ed one-week program is dedicated to youth aged 19-24 to increase independence, build self-confidence, and learn new wilderness and life skills. Youth will succeed in conquering new challenges at their own pace and at their own level of ability.
This program will offer a series of workshops and trainings focused on leadership; transition to adulthood; and healthy living and eating within a safe and structured environment where participants can test their perceived limitations. An additional goal of the Youth Leadership Development (YLD) program is to increase awareness of the capabilities of people with physical disabilities, while creating an atmosphere in which youth can have fun; be active and make new friends in the great outdoors!
The YLD program will operate out of accessible YMCA Geneva Park Conference Centre in Orillia, Ontario between August 13-19, 2012.
