Co-operative Young Leaders (CYL) camp is a fun and interactive program that brings teenagers together from across Ontario.
As part of FirstOntario’s goal to encourage community growth and leadership with our young Members, we sponsor CYL camp opportunities every summer.

Grow as a person
Gain valuable leadership, problem solving and communication experience
Work as a team
Enjoy team building activities and fun times with new friends

Learn about the values that make credit unions and cooperatives different
Build skills
