 Professional Development and Training
- SCA recognizes that the quality of
a camper’s experience at camp is determined, to a large
extent, by the leaders who guide that camper through the program.
Consequently programs and services that provide for the development
of effective leadership skills continue to be a high priority
for the Association. From time to time SCA provides financial
grants to camps to upgrade their staff training programs. When
funding is available, SCA provides financial assistance to leaders
of SCA member camps who wish to attend out-of-province camping
workshops and conferences.
