Future Leaders - Explorers

FUTURE LEADERS (EXPLORERS: AGES 13-16)

Join us for a dynamic week exploring how bold thinkers and innovators shape today’s political, economic and social landscape. Campers will step into the roles of policymakers, strategists, advocates and entrepreneurs as they tackle real-world challenges facing Canada and the global community. Through hands-on activities, debates, and simulations, they build a strong foundation in political leadership, ethical decision-making and media literacy.

Throughout the week, participants examine how emerging technologies — especially social media and AI — shape public opinion and influence decision-making at every level. They discover how responsible leaders use power wisely, communicate with integrity and create meaningful change in their communities and beyond. By the end of the program, campers leave with sharpened critical-thinking skills, increased confidence and a deeper understanding of what it means to lead with purpose in an increasingly complex world.

Cost: $450 per week

Hot lunch provided.
