Are you an Indigenous person living in Canada? Interested in a challenging summer experience that delivers hands-on skills development, encourages teamwork, provides physical fitness training and promotes cultural awareness?
If so, Carcajou is the program for you! This unique summer training program, which combines Indigenous culture and teachings with military training, will help you develop valuable skills such as self-confidence, self-discipline, teamwork, time management, respect and fitness. Carcajou is an Army program open to Indigenous people living across Canada and is a bilingual program. Participants train in Valcartier, Quebec.
The six-week program is conducted from early July to mid-August each year. During this time, you are enrolled as a member of the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF). Upon completion of the program, you can choose to remain in the CAF (as a Regular Force member, a Reserve Force member or a Canadian Ranger) or to be released from service.
