Cadets is the largest federally sponsored youth program in Canada. It is a national program for young Canadians ages 12 to 18 who are interested in participating in a variety of challenging and rewarding activities, and learning more about the Canadian Forces.

Adventure training is one of the many ways that Army Cadets remains a challenging program. Through active outdoor pursuits like trekking, canoeing, rock climbing and survival training, Army cadets gain valuable life skills, knowledge of themselves and an awareness of their environment. Army cadets also learn about army traditions and participate in a variety of national and international expeditions that focus on adventure training, like whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and voyageur canoeing.

Each year Army Cadet Adventure Expeditions involving hundreds of cadets are conducted across Canada and abroad in places like Iceland, Morocco, Australia and Mexico !!!
