DAY CAMPS - YOUTH

Sport Camps - Register today!

• Ages 6 - 12
• RDC has re-imagined this summer's sports camps. We are excited to provide fun, safe and high-quality learning experiences with our campers in mind. RDC's activity camps will focus on being outdoors, participating in physical literacy and fitness. 

RDC is pleased to announce that we are providing the Outdoor Physical Literacy Camp (for 6 to 12 year-olds) free for children whose families have been impacted due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Made possible through a grant from the Government of Canada’s Emergency Community Support Fund and Community Foundations of Canada, the funding will allow 130 youth to attend camps this summer.  

Parents or guardians who are interested in applying for their children to attend the Outdoor Physical Literacy Camp must apply online. The simple form collects basic information about the child and parent/guardian, along with the preferred dates to attend a camp. If approved, applicants will receive instructions on how to register. Spaces in the camps will be awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. For more information, please email sportcamps [at] rdc [dot] ab [dot] ca.
