The Extreme Team: A Leadership Training Program

The Extreme Team program is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for young leaders to grow, learn, and gain hands-on experience in a fun camp environment. Our goal is to help each member discover their unique strengths and the positive impact they can have on the world.

The two-week fee is $595.00. This covers the cost of two weeks of camp, two e-books, and an Extreme Team t-shirt.

Campers can register for multiple two-week sessions. The program's content will change each year, so if your child has been involved previously, they will gain additional leadership techniques.

A Day in the Program

Extreme Team members arrive at camp at 7:50 a.m. each morning. From 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m., they participate in dedicated team-building activities and learn essential leadership techniques.

Afterward, from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., they are fully immersed in the camp program, working alongside a senior staff member. They assist with camper supervision, help run activities, and get a real feel for what it's like to be a camp leader. We make sure that learning is always fun!

Mentorship and Leadership Development

Our program is led by a team of senior staff who act as caring mentors and role models. They are dedicated to helping Extreme Team members build confidence and reach their full potential. Scott Graham, the founder of Kids 4 Kids and Camp Kahuna, also contributes to the instruction.

Our main objectives are to help members:

Improve confidence, communication, and time-management skills.
Develop strategies to overcome obstacles and solve problems.
Understand group dynamics and different leadership styles.
Earn valuable volunteer hours toward their OSSD.
Recognize the importance of serving others and building a caring community.

The program curriculum covers topics essential for future leaders, including:

Building a strong personal brand.
Group management and working with challenging behaviours.
How to design and teach unique camp programs and games.
Developing a campfire program.
