Labor market prep summer camp

Participant without housing: $1,200.00 per ticket
The Kinadapt summer camp was created for Paméla. As a child, she was not a fan of more traditional day camps ...

She needed:
  • Surpass oneself and achieve oneself
  • Take care of nature and its inhabitants, create concrete projects, run on trails ...
  • Team working
  • Improve physical and manual skills

What could be better than a training center with 30 km of trails, where are living 90 dogs, 30 chickens, 2 horses and a few cats and rabbits to achieve these goals!
Within a character-building summer camp, young people aged 14 to 16 years old will learn about farm work and discover the importance of physical capacities and team work while performing the numerous tasks required for animal care. They will be given various responsibilities while under the supervision of a child life specialist, biologist, kinesiologist and supported by other team members. An assessment of skills to be developed will be made during the week to better prepare them for their future life.
