Overall the feedback from the cadets who attended the camp was great, they were grateful for the opportunity to learn important skills that will help them be the greatest future emergency service leaders that they can be. Onya team!

The association is currently on the lookout for some Youth Representatives for our State Committee. If you know an eager cadet, or if this is something you’re interested in being involved with, zip us an email or DM us on socials.
