Education knows no bounds, and that’s especially true with the Wapusk Leadership Camp in Churchill.

It runs July 2nd to 9th and is open to Grade 11 and 12 students throughout the province.

Bonny Sousa from R.D. Parker collegiate shares some of the camp’s highlights.
 

"It offers the kids a chance to be connected with the environment, to be out on the land, and get to look at some archaeological digs at the Prince of Wales Fort. They get a chance to see caribou in their element, they saw six polar bears last year. They also then learn leadership skills. There's no running water or electricity out at the camp, so they get chores. They have to take care of each other, and then they have a few workshops they get to be a part of".

R.D. Parker students have attended the past 3 years and Sousa encourages students to apply for this year’s camp. The application deadline is April 18th and forms are available from any counselors at the school or from Sousa in the science department.
