Location: John Graves Simcoe Armoury
LAST CHANCE TO SUBMIT CAMP FORMS AND BE PRIORITIZED WITH EVERYONE ELSE BASED ON SENIORITY! After this date you will be at the bottom of the priority list.
Tuesday evenings are for anyone to come in for administrative and supply issues such as inquiring about, joining & leaving the Corps (19:00-21:00); issues, exchanges and returns of the dress (DEU) & field (FTU) uniforms (19:00-20:30); business with the Support Committee such as handing in fundraising proceeds (19:00-19:30); and training assistance (19:00-21:00).

Ongoing
Applications, Offers and Acceptances to attend Summer Camp
Cadets normally have to join the Corps before 31 March to apply for summer camp. But those who join after, plus any other cadet who did not apply for summer camp but have changed their mind, may still do so but they will be at the bottom of the priority list of all cadets applying for that camp from the entire Central Ontario Area.
When applying, please be clear on the application form when you CANNOT attend camp so we know what serials you are available to attend. Dates are on the brochure found in the What's Happening\Summer Camp folder of this website.
If you did not apply for summer camp but still want to, get your application to the Administration Officer and explain the reason for your lateness. The Administration Staff will do their best to get you selected for a summer camp, but it could be as late as 2 days after the start of that serial.
Once you have been notified you have been selected to attend summer camp, you MUST first verbally notify the Administration Officer that you are accepting the offer for that serial, then you must receive either a paper copy or an email with the actual offer that must be completed, signed by both the cadet and most importantly the parent, and returned to the Administration Office asap to secure your spot. Offers that have not been accepted after 14 days will be rescinded and given to another cadet on the waiting list.
