KW Predators Junior Camp
The goal of the Waterloo County Junior Camp is to introduce the athletes to the game of volleyball, in hopes that they will develop a fondness for the game and want to continue to play it as they get older. This camp will teach the very basic fundamentals of volleyball in a non-competitive, fun setting. We recognize that campers of this age will have some difficulty focusing on volleyball for 6.5 hours a day, so other activities, such as crafts, low-org games, and other camp games will also be offered every day. Any athletes that do wish to concentrate on volleyball for the full day will be given the option of opting out of the non-volleyball activities and playing volleyball for the full day.

Dates: July 22-26, 2013
Time: 9:00AM-3:30PM
Location: Centennial PS
Ages: For boys and Girls entering grades 4, 5, or 6, or born in 2002, 2003 and 2004.
