Re-newed. Re-designed. Re-launched.

The 22nd annual quarterback camp is for male and female athletes who want to lead their team to more wins. Prepchuk, a certified coach and high school counsellor, also champions leadership off the field and encourages all players to give back to their communities. The weekend academy runs July 3 and 4 at Renfrew Park at Renfrew and 22nd Avenue. Registration is $150. Call 604-803-2473 for more information.
