As Canada still basks in the afterglow of the victorious Vancouver 2010 Winter Games, attention is finally being paid to the quality and importance of our country’s athletes. Some of our country’s newest Olympic heroes, such as Alex Bilodeau and Jennifer Heil, owe their success to their training at summer camp.
After witnessing the unrelenting triumph of Canadian athletes at this year’s Winter Olympic Games in Vancouver, attention is being paid to sports programs in Canada like never before. Now is the best time to enroll your children in sports camps to fully explore their potential.
Sports camps can be breeding grounds for champions. For instance, four out of six medal-winning freestyle skiers attended John Smart’s Momentum Summer Camps in Whistler. This includes Alex Bilodeau, who won the first ever gold medal on home soil for Canada, and silver-medal moguls skier Jennifer Heil. At Momentum, promising young skiers are guided by Smart and other world-class instructors to test their skill and fulfill their passion. Now, Bilodeau is set to return to inspire new campers in the same way other Olympians motivated him at camp.
“Sports camps are great ways to build confidence and friendships, all the while honing your skills and becoming the best athlete possible,” said David Field, editor of Our Kids Go to Camp Magazine. “You can see tangible results. Parents can be sure their kids aren’t just wasting their time.”
There are an overwhelming amount of quality sports summer camps in Canada, but it is crucial to find the right one for every budding victor. Our Kids Go to Camp, and our website www.camps.ca, has a wealth of information to guide families curious about sports camps for their son or daughter. Our listings feature the very best in extracurricular physical education for children across the country.
