Extreme Adventure offers the chance for young men and women from 14-17 years of age, to plan and take part in one or more adventure activities.

Some adventures include (包括) hiking expeditions along historic places; cycling tours; water-based trips; adventure racing (canoeing, kayaking); inter-provincial(between two provinces) and international travel; snowshoeing; attending major events like jamborees (狂欢活动); long term camping hiking; or travelling to other countries to take part in money-collecting projects for wildlife protection.

An important aspect (方面) of any expedition is the planning, food, equipment and training that is required to learn the skills necessary for your adventure. Depending on the activity, the training may help to develop skills in first aid (急救), canoeing, kayaking, map and compass, or other outdoor skills before the actual event. In fact, the training is part of the adventure and a lasting memory of your experience.

Special attention should be paid to working in teams and developing group skills. These skills will also be valuable to all other aspects of life.

Last year over 200 youth took part in an Extreme Adventure in the West and Ontario.

So, please join us and have an unforgettable time!
