CPYC’s Disaster Resilience Challenge is a unique opportunity for your team to bond, grow, and step outside the everyday routine.

Spend a fun day outdoors on Oct 1st 2026, immersed in beautiful nature, only 25 min north of Ottawa. Come prepared for outdoor action, teamwork, and a few surprises along the way!

Your participation will directly support our mission to strengthen Canada’s disaster readiness through youth leadership.

Anyone can build resilience. It is a mindset first, followed by real skill that can be learned.

All you have to do is decide to start!

If you are curious to experience what it feels like – this challenge day is for you.
