Summer Courses

Cadets can take the opportunity to participate in summer training at Cadet Training Centres across Canada. Courses range from 2 to 7 weeks in length, and challenge participants in a wide spectrum of training opportunities such as drill and ceremonial, fitness and sports, marksmanship, music, and expedition training. In Ontario, courses are primarily held at two Cadet Training Centres (CTCs): Blackdown CTC (at Canadian Forces Base Borden, near Barrie). Applications for summer courses are done in January-February, and selections are done in April-June. Most Cadets who apply are selected for summer courses, but due to limited course availability, there are times when not all Cadets may be selected. Cadets are selected on the basis of attendance, Cadet level, previous courses, training performance, and attitude.
