LIT Wilderness Challenge Canoe Trip

Dream of adventures in the great outdoors? Want to learn new skills?

 

The LIT Wilderness Challenge is a fantastic opportunity to embark on a one-week canoe trip on the breathtaking Sayward Forest Canoe Route. Along the way, LITs learn the ins and outs of outdoor recreation, participate in fun nature-based leadership-building activities, make friends, and enjoy a memorable experience of a lifetime! At the end of the summer, certificates and letters of references are provided, which LITs can use toward opportunities in their home communities.

 

No past canoe or outdoor recreation experience is required as our staff are well trained in canoe tripping and safety. We are prepared to adapt the LIT Wilderness Challenge program to meet many abilities. BCMOS Trail Riders will be arranged as necessary. 

 

Session dates for summer 2014:  Sat July 19 - Thurs Jul 24 

 

Pick ups from Camp Shawnigan and Camp Squamish are available. 

 

Registration is open on a first-come first-serve basis until the end of June!

What is LIT all about?

 

Our LIT programs are designed for young persons transitioning into adulthood aged 16-29. We provide opportunities to gain leadership skills and experience transferable to LITs' lives and communities, and to enjoy a memorable and fun week. Many of our participants are graduates of the Easter Seals camping program, and those new to Easter Seals with or without a diagnosed disability are also welcome. 

 

Our LIT programs operate under the following principles for leadership development: Challenge, Opportunity, Reflection and Discovery. 

 

We:

  • Support participants to challenge themselves to learn new skills and set personal and team goals
  • Offer opportunities to practice skills and work toward goals
  • Integrate fun reflections on the successes and challenges met along the way
  • Recognize the great discoveries made about interests and abilities throughout the week and leading forward post-program!  

Our programs are also built to encompass the important themes of inclusion, diversity and accessibility. Being camp-based, we believe leadership is best developed when having FUN!
