We will give out a sheet with these choices on them on Wednesday evening. We would appreciate if you select your top 5 picks for summer camp:
Out of Province CTCs
For those of you who are interested in applying Out of Province to CTC Vernon in BC, and CTC Whitehorse, for example, please indicate that you are willingness to do so if opportunities become available. Cadets in Pacific Region would have priority for spots; however, they may reach out to Atlantic Region to backfill later.
Remote Opportunities
There are also some opportunities to do distance learning courses over the summer. If this is something you are interested in, please let us know and we can provide more information.
Please direct your questions to the corps email, as Lt. Cochrane, our Administration Officer, will be managing the receipt of applications. Corps email: 2562army@cadets.gc.ca

We’re so glad we had cadets take part of this amazing opportunity today. Everyone said they saw a lot of progress made over one day! This will help make the drill of our corps better!

Hope everyone had a great time at Lazertag! We know it’s a quick turnaround to get into St. John’s on a week night, so thank you to our parents and guardians.
Saturday, January 18: Multi-Corps Drill Day
This is an important training opportunity! You will get the most drill instruction required (especially for new cadets) so we are able to look sharp and do other things on our Wednesday nights. We will also be there with cadets from 3 other local cadets units. We have a rough number of those cadets who said they would attend, however we need updated numbers to ensure they order a lunch for you. So if you were not attending before but now can, please let us know.
Note the change in time for cadets to 9:00 am arrival time
9:00 am - 4:30 pm for cadets (8:30 for ALP Cadets)
Mary Queen of the World, Topsail Road, Mount Pearl
