Important Points About Summer Training
- All cadets applying for Army cadet summer training must be medically fit and submit an application for summer training. These applications are reviewed by the Training Officer (Trg O) and Commanding Officer (CO). The CO will review all applications and either recommended them up the chain of command, or decline them for not meeting criteria or being an unsatisfactory applicant.
- Due to the remote location of some Cadet Training Centres (CTC), cadets with severe allergies or other medical conditions that may require rapid medical attention may be precluded from attending certain courses.
- Applicants must have parent/guardian consent, and must be recommended by their Commanding Officer (CO).
- The cadet must have successfully completed the required training level, and also meet any other prerequisite(s) specific to the course(s) for which the application is made.
- A cadet’s 19th birthday must occur after the return travel date.
- In all cases, the cadet must have demonstrated an interest in, and aptitude for, further Army cadet training.
- Cadets who report for summer training and are found not to meet course prerequisites may be re-coursed or returned to unit, at the discretion of the CTC CO.
- A training bonus of $10 per day is paid to every cadet for each day of training they complete (to a weekly maximum of $60, and a course maximum of $360). Depending on the course and CTC, this may be paid upon completion of the course, or portions of the bonus may be paid during the course.
- Staff Cadets are paid a daily rate, which is determined on their assigned rank level for the summer training period (see pay rates below).
