This summer the Ottawa Sooners took on the role of Camp Counsellors at the Stittsville Mega Dome in the nation’s capital.

This two-month camp ran until the end of August and the Sooners engaged kids in activities like frisbee, dodgeball, baseball, bouncy castles, soccer, and big slides. They built great relationships with the campers providing them with an active summer, getting the kids away from their screens.

In fact, the Sooners didn’t stop there, they collaborated with the YMCA as well in both July and August vising eight YMCA locations across the city. They conducted football skill training and activities with an average of 20 to 65 kids per location. 

The YMCA acknowledged the Sooners with this letter:
