The Troupe
Group 1
The Canadian Conservation Corps is an ongoing series of three-part programs designed for Canadian youth that focus on service, adventure and reflection. Over the course of this nine-month experience, individual groups of Corps members will have the opportunity to learn about conservation while being deeply engaged in our natural and cultural heritage.

Stage 1
Group 1 meet in Huntsville, Ontario for two weeks of training with the Canadian Wildlife Federation. They travel to remote areas of Algonquin Park via sled dogs and snowshoes and experience winter camping in the frozen mixed and hardwood forest.
The young adults learn to travel in extreme weather and to read the ice of frozen lakes. Deep in the backcountry, they learn how to stay warm in a harsh and unfamiliar environment. Back at the base camp in Huntsville, Ontario, they enhance their leadership skills through a variety of courses aimed at connecting other Canadians to nature.

Knowledge-Sharing in their Communities
Stage 3
This is where participants put their ideas in motion in the hope of making Canada a better place. In their home communities, they deliver a service project designed to inspire other youth ages 15 to 30 to get involved. It’s time to “pay it forward.”
