Cadet Activity Programs (CAP)
CAP will be delivered locally for cadets in levels one and two. The programming will be managed by the Regional Commanding Officers, offering expanded opportunities for Cadets across Canada.
Through the Cadet Program Rescope, we are making changes so more cadets can be offered a summer experience option and benefit more equitably from this new training model that includes both Cadet Activity Programs (CAPs) and Cadet Training Centres (CTCs) summer training.

CAP Yr 1: 5-day experience that allows cadets opportunities to build confidence and meet other cadets through participation in fun, safe, challenging, and well-organized activities in their local areas. Cadet participants are generally aged 12-13 and are about to enter their second year of training at a corps/squadron.
The course will happen 4 times this summer and cadets may choose to attend the week they are available for: Serial #1 - July 11 July 15 Serial #2 - July 18 July 22 Serial #3 - August 1 August 5 Serial #4 - August 8 August 12 |
CAP Yr 2: 12-day experience that allows cadets opportunities to build leadership and interpersonal skills through participation in fun, safe, challenging, and well-organized activities in their local areas. Cadet participants are generally aged 13-14 and are about to enter their third year of training at a corps/squadron. The 2-week course will also include a weekend field training exercise (FTX).

Cadet Training Centers (CTC)In addition to the CAPs offered to first and second year cadets, for summer 2022 we intend to offer third year or higher cadets an opportunity to participate in activities ranging from 2-7-weeks located at one of 12 centralized Cadet Training Centres (CTCs) dispersed across Canada.
Almost all courses include a one-week distance learning portion and then 2-3 weeks of in-person training. Distance Learning Course Date: July 11-15, 2022 Available courses:
Note: In-person course dates are to be confirmed. Official site: https://www.canada.ca/en/department-national-defence/services/cadets-junior-canadian-rangers/cadets/summer-training/summer2022/ctc-summer-courses-2022.html |
COVID-19 Protocol & Prevention
Reference: CANCDTGEN 009/22 - Update - COVID-19 Vaccination Requirements for Cadets
Cadets who participate in Cadet Training Centre (CTC) courses or ship deployments must be vaccinated against COVID-19.
Cadets participating in Cadet Activity Program (CAP) training do not require vaccination against COVID-19. However, where CAP activities are located at a CTC, cadets attending CAP may require vaccination against COVID-19 if the CAP participants cannot be distinctly cohorted from the cadets attending CTC courses.
Youth in Canada are considered fully vaccinated 14 days after they have received their primary series (two doses) of a Health Canada (HC) approved vaccine.
Cadets will show proof of COVID-19 vaccination to the squadron staff who will record in FORTRESS that proof has been shown. Cadets must be prepared to show their proof of vaccination when they arrive at the start of the activity.
Cadets attending in-person day-training activities will continue to adhere to local, provincial, and federal guidelines regarding public health measures including the use of non-medical masks (NMM). In some circumstances, government-issued proof of vaccination may still be required by certain facilities used to support cadet activities as part of local, provincial/territorial, or federal public health measures (e.g. museums, aerodromes, commercial air or rail travel).
