I'm considering taking a gap year in Canada after high school and want to know about some cool programs I can join. Are there any recommended Canada gap year programs that other students have tried and loved?
Certainly! Canada is an excellent destination for a gap year. Here are a couple of gap year programs that can provide rich experiences:
1. Outward Bound Canada: Known for its outdoor adventure programs, Outward Bound Canada offers a wilderness-based semester-long program designed for students on a gap year. The program includes backpacking, rock climbing, dog sledding, and canoeing.
2. Projects Abroad: For those interested in volunteering, Projects Abroad Canada offers a High School Special where you can volunteer in a variety of areas such as animal care or child care. This is a flexible program ranging from weeks to several months, depending on your interests and availability.
Remember to carefully research each program and consider whether it aligns well with your interests, goals, and budget before committing. It's also beneficial to connect with students who have previously participated. You can find such individuals on online forums or social media groups dedicated to gap year experiences.
