Description
Does your child want to volunteer at camp this summer? The YLDP is a mandatory program for all camp volunteers. This counts as high school community service hours if the participant is currently enrolled in high school. This exciting program teaches participants leadership skills with an emphasis on the skills required to be a future camp counsellor. Topics include communication, teamwork, program planning, leading activities, child development, resume writing and more. Past YLDP participants expand on topics from the Year 1 program and increase their leadership skills during training. Participants learn in a hands-on environment, which allows them to put their new skills into action during a mandatory two-week camp placement at one of the City of Waterloo summer camps. Each participant receives leadership training, 2-week camp placement, manual, T-shirt and appreciation party. You must complete YLDP 1 before transitioning to YLDP 2. Please fill out the online consent form immediately after you have registered. Volunteers may not receive their first or second camp location choice and must be flexible. 100% attendance is required during training. For more information, visit
