During the course, TLCs can expect, over the duration of the summer, to move from the mindset and status of a camper to an appreciation of what it takes to be a leader. There are regular training sessions and workshops with senior staff and the TLC Directors. There are opportunities to assist leaders in direct supervision of campers, support outtrip programs, teach skills and experience the demands of leadership firsthand. Throughout the camp sessions (July and August), TLCs receive regular evaluations and feedback sessions from all staff, as well as, counselling sessions from the TLC Directors. Sometimes, not all participants in the Tawingo Leadership Course are invited back to join the Camp Tawingo staff for the following summer. The skills that are learned during the TLC, however, are readily transferred into a variety of settings. For more information on the TLC, please contact Mike Pearse at Camp Tawingo.

Tawingo Talkback!
" Both Keegan and Carmen had a blast at camp this year. They're both singing all the camp songs and laughing about their adventures.
We picked up the kids at 11:15. Went out for lunch and got back to the cottage by 1:30. By 3pm Keegan said those magical words..."mom, I'm bored". "
