2022 YALP Information
We understand that there are many concerns about health and safety currently. Our priority is the participants safety, so we have in place measures to reduce the risk of the spread of COVID-19. These include disinfecting all equipment after each use and staff, volunteers and participants wearing masks (unless unable due to health reasons).
The itinerary for the program includes cycling, hiking, rock climbing and canoeing. During the cycling day we will go over bike maintenance and road rules as well as cooking and preparing meals. On the hiking day we will have a variety of trails to go on for a range of abilities from 1st dam. We will go over hiking rules, and environmental education. On the canoeing day the participants will learn the different ways to steer and paddle a canoe along with education on CPR techniques. On the rock climbing day the participants will also be learning about survival shelters.
