Senior Programs (Ages 13-15)

Our Senior programs offer campers a safe, exciting, co-ed adventure in northern Saskatchewan. Within the framework of a wilderness out-trip, portions of each day will be set aside for training in wilderness and leadership skills as well as spiritual programs. Prerequisites may be required for some programs.

The Senior Skills Programs (ages 13-14) are introductory programs that give campers experience in all aspects of camping. Campers will spend about half their time in camp learning wilderness survival skills, canoeing skills, hiking skills and orienteering. The rest of the time they
will be putting these skills to use on an out-trip in Narrow Hills Provincial Park.

The Senior Out-Tripping Programs (ages 14-16) let the camper experience 7 of the 10 days in the wilderness on a trip designed to safely challenge them physically, mentally and spiritually. They will leave the comfort of Main Camp and venture out with their group and whatever they can carry in their packs. Daily routines include setting up and breaking camp, collecting firewood, outdoor cooking, fire-watches and following no-trace camping practices. Prerequisite for all senior out-tripping programs is previous wilderness camping experience.

Adventure Leadership Experience (ALE) is St. John Bosco's premiere camping program. ALE is a 24-day leadership development program, of which 18-20 days are spent hiking and canoeing in the northern Saskatchewan wilderness.
