Co-operative Young Leaders (CYL) is about empowering youth with valuable change-making tools and skills they need to succeed in the world, while instilling them with a co-operative mindset. The environment we provide at CYL camp is designed to help participants develop self-confidence and socialization skills, learn a new way of thinking about the world from inspiring guest speakers, build new friendships, create lasting memories, and of course, have fun with traditional camp activities!
The importance of leadership, diversity, and equality in their community is a strong focus of our CYL programing, as is providing an inclusive and non-judgemental space where all youth feel safe to learn, share, and connect with us and each other. We support and encourage participants from all walks of life to join us at camp for a truly life-changing experience.
