Catapult does not compare with other teen leadership camps. Its focus is on teens who would otherwise never have the opportunity to take part in this type of experiential learning. Catapult campers will be the students who have enormous potential with all the qualities to succeed - but who haven't had many chances to participate in experiences that develop team building skills and confidence.

Students can only attend Catapult if they are nominated by a Teacher or Guidance Counsellor. Please consider who among your students would be an excellent candidate for this potentially life-changing experience.  The deadline for nominations is April 7, 2011.

Presented by Erdene Resource Development Corp., Catapult is a non-profit camp fully funded by corporate sponsorships. Registration, accommodation, meals and even transportation will be provided at no cost to the school or student.

Catapult ’s experienced and capable staff is led by Program Director "Mr. Phil" Gugliuzza, a dynamic leadership expert from New Orleans who has inspired thousands of students in over 13 countries.  Our Student & Staff Director, Julian Maynard, hails from Nassau, Bahamas, and now lives, works and studies in Boston, Mass. and has spent the past 5 summers working camps in Europe.  Solidifying the team as Administrative Director is Catapult Founder, Jane Roy of Bedford, NS.  They are supported by a team of counselors (all university students), a nurse and top notch speakers – ensuring a FUN and engaging camp experience.

A full information package, including nomination forms, will be sent to every junior high and middle school in Nova Scotia.
