If your child is walking to camp themselves, this can also be indicated on the sign-in sheet. We want to make sure each child has a plan to arrive to and from camp safely.**

On the first day of camp, each camper will receive a camp T-shirt, and we ask that they wear this shirt each day to camp. We also provide campers with a refillable water bottle.
We’ll be playing games outside most of the day, campers should wear running shoes, bring a hat and wear sunscreen.

I have been part of SU Sports camps for 12 years as a volunteer in Arthur, Ontario. In that time I have seen young people as campers grow to be volunteers and even leaders at the camps. It is amazing to see the friendships that are built and carry on over the years. The coaches that come to run the camp are always enthusiastic and easy to talk to. They work on getting to know the campers and the volunteers over the four to five days and it is amazing to see how they remember the campers and the campers remember the coaches. It is a wonder time of fun, sports and faith. My kids are looking forward to being part of the Winchester Sports Camp – two as volunteers and one as a camper for the first time.

Are you interested in volunteering?
Many hands make this camp possible! We will have skilled, experienced instructors leading the activities but require additional volunteers to help with the kids groups, coach support, checkin and checkout.
Know an active fun loving teen who would like to gain some volunteer hours? Passionate about kids in the community? We would love your support!
Please see a list of volunteers roles.
- 2 Daily check in and sign out people
- 3 people to help with the coaches
- 6 people (2 for each squad) to go around with the campers
For volunteers over the age of 18, a vulnerable sector check is required. Some of these are present for the whole day some we need in the morning and afternoon for check out.
Please email Ed with interest: winchestersusportscamp@gmail.com
