Camp Wenonah
POLARIS - Leadership Development Program
POLARIS participants focus on the acquisition and development of skills in Camp’s main program areas.
A significant amount of time is devoted to developing skills in canoeing, kayaking (including white water) which culminates in an optional day trip to the Minden White Water Preserve, swimming and lifesaving, sailing, archery, climbing, and arts & crafts.
Participants strive for official national and provincial certifications in several of these areas, including provincial canoeing levels (ORCKA), national lifesaving certifications up to Bronze Cross (Lifesaving Society), and national sailing levels (CANSail).
Each individual participating in the POLARIS program sets personal goals during the month. POLARIS staff members, in collaboration with specialized program area heads, work with each participant to help them achieve their goals. POLARIS staff also provide ongoing support and feedback to participants throughout the month.
