Vernon was a busy camp in 1951, with the militia holding their annual 10 day camp in June prior to the cadets arriving, LCol Kinloch, commanded the cadet camp as well as the militia camp.

Cadet arrived at in Vernon in two special passenger trains from the prairies and the coast, on the same day, just hours apart. This became a pretty hectic day and the arrive was sheer bedlam. 

With the 10-day course phased out the year before, the 6 week courses changed slightly, as they no longer ran over two summers, they now condensed the into a 6 week course.  While the total number of cadets attending the camp was down, the number attending trades training had again increased to 650.  

This year was also the first year that the Vernon Girls McIntosh Pipe Band began the tradition of providing music for the cadet parades at the camp. This would continue for a number of years.
