Program Readiness Camp Orientation

The Program Readiness Camp is a mandatory orientation full of activities and acts as an introduction to the Outdoor Adventure Program. Students meet the program instructors and other students, are introduced to our skills training activities, learn program policies and expectations, have their physical readiness assessed, and learn the details of the program. As the Outdoor Adventure Program is like no other college education, it is imperative our students are fully prepared and know what is expected of them to be safe and successful in our program.

Attendance (via advance registration) at the Program Readiness Camp is mandatory, and a student may not start the program without first attending the mandatory orientation. If, after participation and assessment in the orientation camp, a candidate’s physical or mental fitness is evaluated as poor and jeopardizes their safety and/or ability to successfully progress through the program, the student will be coached on options, which may include postponing program start to the following year.

Dates for Program Readiness Camp:

Sunday, August 18, and Monday, August 19, 2024 (must attend both days)

Students must register in advance by calling the Pembroke Campus Admissions (no online registration for this event): 613-735-4700 x 2708 or 1-800-565-4723 x 2708.
