Are you feeling concern for your young adult child in their preparedness for adulthood? Do you find yourself wishing he or she had learned essential life skills earlier? Coming out of the social isolation and personal development interruption caused by COVID-19 on your children around the junior high to high school age, you watched helplessly in recognition that the world had fundamentally changed and was continuing to change rapidly - and your child was not able to develop at the same rate. So, being parents, we jumped in to fill the gap. We encouraged our child to find a job as we knew it was key to providing both work and life experience. Yet, many of our kids could not find those typical fast food and retail jobs. During and after COVID, many of those jobs were now filled by adults. The youth unemployment rate in Canada is at historic highs. Your child is now 19, 20...21. How can you target the areas where they are underdeveloped and give them the tools needed for success. That is where Adulting Camp 2026 comes in. This unique experience is designed by a fellow parent of a young adult to equip your child with the skills they need to thrive in today's very challenging world. Here are the top reasons why you should consider signing up your young adult child.
