Throughout the world, programs like the one in Canada offer opportunities for youth to continually learn to adapt and overcome each challenge they encounter along their course. Skills are developed through participants exploring their personal boundaries, both physically and mentally in a controlled and safe manner. Each year, we offer training opportunities to youth from across Canada in our programs and to develop new skills. The majority of these programs have been in Ontario although youth travel around the world to participate with other member organizations.
