Our mission
is to gather 14 to 17 year-old student athletes and impart to them
the kind of life teachings that will help them reach ELITE status
in all aspects of life. In addition to the education they receive,
the camp strives to improve lifetime prospects for kids. We are
a life teaching organization with an emphasis on the importance
of education, quality of life, mutual respect, avoiding bad decisions
and making good ones. Through the context of football, our goal
is to take youngsters and help them gain the strength the character
needed to face their daily challenges. |

The
ELITE Football Camp is a non-profit organization aimed at supporting
student athletes in Quebec High Schools. We will
be inviting 100 students to attend a four-day camp coached by professional
football players from all over the Canadian Football League, as
well as some of the best amateur coaches in the province of Quebec.
The concept for the camp originated in our passion for football. We owe our careers,
playing the game we love, to dedicated individuals who took the time to help
us when we were student athletes. Each of us had that one coach, mentor or parent
that gave us the support and guidance to follow our dreams. Now we want to offer
that same support and provide a stepping stone for the young men of Quebec who
dream of playing at the college or professional level.
Adolescence is an important period in life, a time when decisions can most affect
our future. The youngsters we are targeting, are the ones who are most likely
to face peer pressure to skip school or perhaps even drop out. They are also
the ones most likely to face issues such as bullying and drug or alcohol abuse.
The ELITE Football Camp was created to provide the support these youngsters need
to successfully make it through one of the most difficult and crucial periods
of their lives. |
