Upcoming Activities
Welcome Back!
With the end of Summer comes the beginning of the 2023/2024 Training Year. We will be returning in person to start regular training on Thursday September 7th. The first three nights will be a bit different from "normal" training nights so please read the next points carefully so you know what is happening and what you need to do / wear.
-
Cadets are asked to show up in appropriate outdoor gear (no uniforms) including closed toed shoes. There will be two outdoor activities happening at the same time so cadets will be assigned to either on water (sailing) training or on land (compass and orienteering) training. Those cadets that are put in the on water training this week will participate in the on land training next week. Likewise those doing on land training this week will switch to on water training next week. For the first week please bring a dry change of clothes.
-
Every cadet is required to complete an Annual Verification Form. Please bring your parent or guardian with you into the building so they can see SLt Taylor and review/sign this form. Without a completed Annual Verification Form cadets will not be allowed to participate in the program. Forms can be completed and submitted no later then the 30th of September so getting it done and out of the way is the easiest way to make sure you can keep participating!
-
For the next three weeks (Sept 7th, 14th and 21st) we will be starting earlier then normal. This will allow us to get as much time on the water and outside as possible before the sun starts to set. Cadets will be running from 1730hrs (5:50pm) until 2100hrs (9pm) for these nights. After this we will return the regular 1830hrs to 2130hrs.
-
We understand that you may have grown and uniform parts might no longer fit, that is okay! Please make sure to see SLt Colwill to make an appointment to switch out parts that need switching. Make sure to talk to him before showing up with your uniform part as he may not be avalible otherwise!
We are excited to see everyone and hear how your summer was. If you have any questions please remember to reach out so we can help answer them.
