Sports Camps Canada has partnered with Subnation Media to bring competitive video gaming esports camps to the Waterloo Region.
The virtual Explore Waterloo Region esports Spring Break camps will provide top-level instruction to campers between the ages of 12-19, designed to help them improve their gaming abilities, while also building important life skills that extend beyond the game. Coaches are trained through Sports Camps Canada’s unique esports coaching certification program, which has been developed in partnership with Logitech, to enhance the educational and competitive experience for each of its campers.
“As we continue to explore ways to deliver and support esports activities and programs within our region, I’m excited for our communities and educational institutions to be the first beneficiaries of the partnership between Sports Camps Canada and Subnation”, said Allister Scorgie, Director of Sport Hosting at Explore Waterloo Region. “We’re excited to launch these esports camps this spring, and look forward to offering in-person options for visiting campers from across Canada in the future when it’s safe to do so.”
The 3-day esports camps will be held virtually between April 10-18, 2021 in association with the esports programs at Conestoga College, University of Waterloo and Wilfrid Laurier University. In-person esports camps are being considered for later in 2021 and beyond.
“We are grateful to be working with the Explore Waterloo team to bring esports camps to the Waterloo Region”, says Kye Browning, Director of Esports at US Sports Camps and Sports Camps Canada. “Working with local post-secondary institutions, we plan to build an esports community in the region and provide kids with the opportunity to develop life skills, make friends, and improve their game play.”
