Ellie is from Wolfville, Nova Scotia and graduated from Camp Courage class of 2017. This is what she has to say about Camp Courage

“Camp courage is such a spectacular program, I benefited hugely from all of the hands-on experience (especially in the paramedic days) that we participated in. They really helped me to understand what the profession(s) involved and continued to inspire me to pursue a career in medicine!


�The program also encouraged me to organize the Harvest Dinner. An event that raised $10,000 towards sponsoring a refugee family in our community. This event was incredible and helped to spread awareness of the refugee crisis to people in my community.

�Camp courage was such a wonderful experience all around, and I believe that it will continue to inspire young women to work towards achieving their goals and improving their communities.

Some quotes from her experience…
I found the police day scenarios especially empowering. I also loved the speeches.

Loved the hands-on activities! Specially the mannequins on the second day of paramedics and the scenarios on the second day of police days.

I gained a lot of confidence during the labs and stations.

I loved being able to use all of the cool mannequins it was an incredible experience.
Mentors were all so supportive and fun. I made lasting friendships. ”
