Camps & PROGRAMS
Under our "Rucking Good Time" initiative, we aim to provide a complete sporting experience for the novice through to the more adept player. Whether it be an introduction to the unique culture and its fundamental principles, the development of general physical literacy and self-expression, or a more focused approach to specific skills and tactics, we want participants to simply have fun and enjoy themselves in an instinctive way.
Through a combination of voluntary community programs, activity camps and academy offerings, we aim to both introduce players to the wonderful benefits sport can offer, and to provide opportunity for aspiring players to hone their instincts and develop their all round tactical and technical abilities.

Current activities
summer camps
We are excited to be hosting our first summer of camps this August, at our base venue, Curtis Field in Redwood Meadows Townsite. The camps will consist of three days of activities, two days devoted to rugby development, including an introduction to the principles of body conditioning and the third incorporating a different activity to give participants a chance to gain a wider appreciation of physical literacy.
We are delighted to be partnering with Handle Bar Adventures of Bragg Creek, who will be providing for Day 3, a fun filled Adventure Scavenger Hunt right here in the foothills in the wilds of Kananaskis Country. Whilst undertaking challenges and activities all participants will explore such skills as navigation, animal awareness, plant life, back country survival and learn some cultural history of the region.
All camps run from Tuesday to Thursday at a cost of $115 per day, which includes a daily lunch and a PA T-shirt . For those participants already members of rugby clubs and insured with Rugby Alberta/Canada, the cost is reduced to $105 per day (all costs include GST).
