The information below applies to the 2-year Outdoor Adventure Program. If you are applying to the Outdoor Adventure Naturalist Co-op Program, go to this web page.

As per Part I of Eligibility and Selection, a Letter of Intent, Resume and two Letters of Reference are key elements of your application. For applicants who apply before February 1, the equal opportunity date for submitting documentation is no later than May 13th, 2011. However, if an applicant has submitted all documentation before that date, they may receive an earlier letter of admission.

For those applying after the February 1 deadline, please submit within 3 weeks of receiving your Admissions package or submit online below. Late applicants should call the program coordinator with any questions regarding deadlines or extensions.

Letters of Reference: We also require two (2) reference letters from people (such as a camp counsellor, ski instructor, coach, etc.) who can support your Letter of Intent and provide us with another perspective of you as a candidate for the Outdoor Adventure Program. Family members cannot act as your reference.

Please direct the two people who you think can provide a good insight into your skills and abilities to the page that contains both an online reference form and a printable version of the reference letter. Or they can submit a typed response separately, as per the directions in the Applicant’s Handbook - see link below. The online form is the preferable means of submission.
