See www.capernwray.ca to find a complete description of each area of our ministry. BIBLE SCHOOL (Sep-May): The Curriculum covers roughly 75% of the books of the Bible. Emphasis is placed on personal discovery through discipleship rather than on academic achievement. A second year of studies in our Leadership Training Programme focuses on learning leadership by influence, not merely by position. CONFERENCES & RETREATS (Mar, May-Aug): The 7 summer Holiday Bible Weeks provide a week of in-depth, practical Bible study combined with opportunities for lots of recreational fun and fellowship. The Men's, Ladies' and Mid-Summer Breakaway conferences are also designed for Bible teaching devoted to deeper spiritual learning and practice. In our Outdoor Ed programmes the mind, body, and spirit will be challenged in order to learn timeless and relevant "life principles". Retreat packages are available for seniors, churches, families and all groups seeking fellowship and refreshment.

We offer unique sail-training adventures for teens aged 12-18, delivered aboard our two Tall Ships, STV Pathfinder and TS Playfair. Teens who have a strong affinity for our program continue on in the winter session to gain further training, skills, and certification, working towards promotion into the officer core. These youth officers are then responsible for training the next group of youth who join us onboard for the regular summer programming the following year. This unique youth-to-youth chain of command helps our teens develop strong leadership skills while maintaining a level of professionalism and responsibility that is rarely earned at such a young age. This program builds character and develops leaders of tomorrow.
