<![CDATA[2884 ROYAL CANADIAN ENGINEERS CADET CORPS - NEWS & EVENTS (Blog)]]>Tue, 14 May 2024 12:44:15 -0400Weebly<![CDATA[2024 Summer Training Information]]>Thu, 07 Mar 2024 18:22:58 GMThttp://2884rcacc.com/news--events-blog/2024-summer-training-information
CTCs offers cadets a more in-depth study and experience in the area in which they are selected to participate. Summer camps, as cadets fondly call them, are located on the Pacific and Atlantic coasts, the Rocky Mountains and everywhere in between. Some CTCs involve all three elements (Sea, Army and Air Cadets) learning and working together in one location. It is the chance to meet friends for life during an experience they will never forget!

Cadets are not guaranteed a spot on a summer training course, and cadets are selected to attend summer training based on their attendance, behaviour, and other attributes that they’ve demonstrated throughout the cadet training year.

For many cadets, participating in summer training is the highlight of their year. The many diverse training opportunities offered during the summer months, including the Cadet Training Centre (CTC) Courses, the Technology and Digital Learning Centre (TDLC), and the National Cadet Advisory Council (NCAC) are the perfect occasion to make friends for life during experiences youth will never forget.

<![CDATA[2884 Competes at the zone marksmanship competition!]]>Mon, 26 Feb 2024 20:14:05 GMThttp://2884rcacc.com/news--events-blog/2884-competes-at-the-zone-marksmanship-competitionOur 2884 Cadets Marksmanship Team showcased their skills and spirit at the annual zone marksmanship competition on February 25th. Comprising Master Warrant DeWaele, Sergeant Wellington, Corporal Roberts, Corporal Simpson, and Corporal Haskell, our team took on the challenge with determination and pride!

Armed with Daisy air rifles, our cadets aimed for four targets, scoring points for both prone and standing positions. The ultimate goal for each cadet was to reach a total score close to 400 points, a task that demanded precision and focus. Notably, three of our cadets experienced their first taste of competitive marksmanship, demonstrating courage and commitment in the face of challenge.

Though accolades eluded us this time, the true victory lies in the resilience and sportsmanship our cadets displayed. Utilizing the Daisy 853C air rifle equipped with iron sights, they honed their skills and embraced the spirit of competition.

Regardless of the outcome, the camaraderie and dedication of our cadets shine brightly. Their efforts exemplify the values of teamwork, perseverance, and excellence that define our 2884 family.
Congratulations to these remarkable cadets for their outstanding performance and unwavering commitment. As they continue their marksmanship journey, we stand behind them, inspired by their determination and tenacity.

CHIMO!
