Why register for your kids for our Jr Griffins Summer Aquatic and Sport Camps this summer? It’s easy to say skill development and for most people that could be enough. It gives their daughter or son an opportunity to spend dedicated time working on skills for their sport of choice. Their wants may range from making the team, to becoming a starter, to getting active and having fun, and our camps will help them achieve their individual goals in a safe, accepting environment.

Physical Skill Development

With Jr Griffins Camps, focus is placed on individual skill development and integration of broad team concepts. Our camps are designed and run by MacEwan University lifeguards, coaches and athletes, plus they adhere to the standards outlined in the Long-Term Athlete Development Strategy.

Social Skill Development

As players better understand and learn fundamentals and sport/ activity concepts, their confidence not only grows in the sport/ activity, but out of the pool or off the court/ ice as well. Young athletes become more confident, gain self-esteem and self-discipline, pick up communication skills with peers and adults, learn teamwork and even develop leadership skills and attributes.

Healthy Living

It’s a sad fact but obesity rates have tripled the last 30 years according to the Government of Canada. Keeping your kids active will not only help control their weight, improve coordination, balance, flexibility and even bone strength, but regular activity will help heart health, lungs, arteries and lessen their chances of type 2 diabetes later in life.

Fun

Too often the focus in sport quickly turns to team success over individual growth, and can limit the fun had by all who participate as player, coach and parent. Sport Camps give youth the opportunity to get back to why they started playing in the first place- fun! Aquatic camps are more focused on the individual and their skill development and have a major focus on fun.

Friends

Think about the people you know. If you grew up playing sports, at swim meets or have your kids in these activities, often your social world revolves around sports. Through camps, your children get a chance to meet more people who share a common interest, the love of a game. Camps provide the opportunity to forge lifelong bonds with a game or the pool and the people within it- every sport is a community.

So, if you’re looking for a way to provide your child with some physical activity you may be surprised with the other life skills they develop along the way. Register now for Jr Griffins Summer Aquatic Camps, including Aqua Troopers, Aquatic Adventures, and our new Leadership and Swim Training camps.
