For those interested, Cadets have summer camps located across Canada. Our camp is called Argonaut and is located at CFB Gagetown, NB. Cadets can go to camp for two to eight weeks on a variety of courses. Each camp offers a unique mixture of outdoor activities and valuable instruction.

  6. CAN I TRAVEL INTERNATIONALLY?
