Counsellors' Week - Grades 10 - 12
Camp provides a unique opportunity for youth to discover and build their own leadership skills. The goal of Counsellors’ Week is to develop the general skills of leadership that will be relevant for a lifetime, at school, at home and in the community. It is an opportunity for former campers to transition more formally into leadership roles. We form our counsellors to embody the leadership, character, integrity, patience, and self-control that will serve future campers, their peers and others.

This week provides teens with an opportunity to “choose my own adventure”. Participants have the choice of two tracks:
- Track #1 Out-trip - Encountering Christ in Creation. Come to OLVC for an extraordinary wilderness adventure. Under the leadership of a guest Program Coordinator participants will learn wilderness survival skills, outdoor cooking and other essential camping skills. At the same time, the week will focus on the ways in which God has left His fingerprints in the created world all around us. It promises to be a week of laughter, and exploration that participants won’t soon forget!
- Track #2 Dive In. Dive In will be a memorable week at OLVC where participants can begin to discover and understand the mission God has given them to be both a hearer of His Word and one who lives it as well. Under the leadership of guest program coordinator Mike Landry and other youth ministry veterans, participants will dive deeper into what it means to pray, learn how we share Christ with others, and explore the joy-filled journey of what it means to be a Catholic Christian. This will be a great week that equips participants with a stronger spiritual foundation for the upcoming school year.
