Pioneer believes in life-long learning, skill-development, discovery and exploration of the natural environment through hands-on experience for both campers and staff. An important component of this is our Out-Tripping Program.
Hard Skills Training: Pioneer is organizing several Hard Skills Training Weekends to equip seasonal staff and volunteers in the skills needed for leading our Sr. Girls and Sr. Boys out-tripping programs.
The focus will be on developing solid out-tripping leadership skills in the area of group management in camping. Areas of skill development will be in leading groups in camp set-up and in on-trail and off-trail activities.
Join us and become a better equipped leader!
