CTS Youth Society

For over 20 years, CTS Youth Society has been connecting Metro Vancouver youth with their natural environment, their community, and each other through the life-changing outdoor experience of summer camp. Free and open to all participants, we are “for youth, by youth.”

Peer Leader Program

Peer Leaders are volunteer CTS youth members (age 15-18) that plan and lead camp excursions in Metro Vancouver Regional Parks with support from experienced CTS staff supervisors. Peer Leaders are trained in leadership, program development, outdoor recreation and outdoor safety. Their hard work helps make our “for youth, by youth” programs the best they can be!
