It is important for cadets to participate in CAF familiarization learning stations to develop an understanding of the CAF and its history, role, and contributions within Canada and the international community. These learning stations also tie directly to the aim of the Cadet Program to stimulate the interest of youth in the sea, land and air activities of the CAF.
1.Divide the cadets into groups.
2.Arrange a system of rotation for groups to move through the stations. Explain the procedure for moving from one station to the next, the time allotted for each station and the signal to switch.
3.Assign each group to their first learning station.
4.Supervise and provide guidance where necessary.

The learning stations develop an understanding of the CAF, its history, role, and contributions within Canada and the international community. By participating in these learning stations, you have become more aware of the sea, land and air activities of the CAF.

Over The Top - an interactive adventure game that allows participants to experience life in the trenches during the First World War.
Armoured Warrior - an interactive game that is based on the experiences of the First Canadian Army in combat in the Second World War.
Canadian Military History Gateway - an online service providing access to websites and digitized resources about Canada’s military history.
