Inspiring youth to believe in their greater potential.
Catapult nomination process
Catapult Camp dates are Wednesday, August 13 - Wednesday, August 20, 2025
Every student deserves the opportunity to build self-confidence and develop their leadership potential. Research suggests that a quality camp experience can change a young person’s life. We witness this every year. Our students don’t just come to summer camp, they join a family, receiving the support they need to become their best selves.
As a teacher, a coach or other youth support worker, this is an opportunity for you to change the life trajectory of a deserving student.
On this page, you'll find details on who to nominate, along with access to our nomination forms below. Catapult is designed for youth with leadership potential who have had limited opportunities to cultivate their leadership skills. If you have questions? Contact us
