The 3rd sledge to physical literacy day camp was held August 20-24th at the St.James Civic Centre with a total of 26 sledge hockey players taking part in a week full of sledge hockey. The novice group which consisted of children had the largest group ever for the camp with 16 attending; We also were blessed with the presence of Tucker who came from the USA to participate in the camp; He was so committed to attending he missed an entire week of school; USA start school a week earlier (ouch).
The week was extremely busy and filled with life skill building opportunities from learning new adapted sports such as fencing, badminton and tennis to taking responsibility to dress independently for hockey.
An exciting element of this year’s camp was having 8 female athletes participate. There is a definite growth in female sledge hockey in Manitoba;
The camp’s success can be directly associated with parent and player commitments and the strong support from Society for Manitoban’s with Disabilities;

See you all in October
