Media Release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE – Prince George, BC, June 7, 2023

Registration is now open for summer sports camps for kids.

(PRINCE GEORGE, BC, June 7, 2023) – Engage Sport North (ESN) is thrilled to announce an exciting collaboration with the University of Northern British Columbia (UNBC) Timberwolves to deliver a series of basketball and soccer camps this summer for youth ages 8 to 18 in Prince George

For youth ages 8-12, parents have several week-long options available to them throughout July and August. In the mornings, immersive soccer and basketball programs will be run by the Timberwolves’ top student-athletes and then Engage Sport North will offer multi-sport Try-it sports programming in the afternoons. Parents have the option to register for either the half-day Timberwolves or Engage Sport North sessions or both to make the camps a full-day experience.

For youth ages 13-18, two week-long basketball camps are available in the afternoons in July and August. Participants will enjoy sport-specific training and drills from the Timberwolves student-athletes and strength and conditioning programming delivered by Engage Sport North’s high-performance coaches. These camps offer a well-rounded experience, catering to both skill development and overall athletic growth for athletes ages 13-18.  

“Parents seek opportunities to keep their children engaged and active during the summer months, and our camps with the Timberwolves are the perfect solution-enabling children to meet new friends, explore new sports, and experience the benefits of organized sports,” explained Lauryn McKinnon, Sport Discovery Coordinator for Engage Sport North. “With children spending more time indoors playing video games, our goal is to provide them with exciting sports experiences. We firmly believe that encouraging physical activity at a young age lays the foundation for lifelong involvement in sports.”
