Summer Training – RCSCC 319 Centurion

Summer Training Possibilities

Summer training is an opportunity for cadets to stay overnight at various locations across Canada for up to six weeks long depending on their course.

General Training

This is a 2-week introductory course to the other options offered at summer training. Young cadets will explore sail, seamanship, music, drill & ceremonial, marksmanship and much more.

Seamanship

Cadets can choose to participate in the drill team. They will be taught how to march, follow commands, and prepare for the Regional Cadet Competition. This includes drill with arms. As they continue through cadets they will be taught how to command a division with voice commands and may even learn how to do sword and flag drill.

Sailing

Cadets will have the opportunity to learn how to handle and shoot an air rifle. They will be taught the parts of the rifle, the prone position, and the basic requirements and techniques for using the rifle. If they enjoy this, they may choose to participate in the marksmanship team where they can learn more advanced techniques and positions.

Music

Cadets will learn many things associated with sailing over the years. They will be taught how to set up sailing equipment, how to rig a sail, the knots used during sailing, and the basic ways of how to sail. If they enjoy this they can enter in a sailing regatta and compete with other sea cadets within the region.

Drill & Ceremonial

Cadets can choose to participate in the orienteering team. They will be taught the techniques of running, navigation, and using a map and compass. They will be able to participate in Cadet Orienteering Competitions where they can compete in teams and individually with cadets in their region.

Sports and Fitness

Cadets can choose to participate in the biathlon team. They will be taught cross-country skiing, marksmanship, and regulation of breathing in between the two activities. They will then train for the Cadet Biathlon Competition with these techniques.

Air Rifle & Marksmanship Instructor (ARMI)

Cadets will learn many things associated with historic naval seamanship aboard a naval ship. A couple times a year, seamanship weekends are hosted at RCSCC Centurion and other cadet corps in the region. These weekends include learning about naval knots, gyn or shears, the phonetic alphabet and even whaler sailing.
