Canada Olympic Park (C.O.P.)

Located in Calgary, Alberta, Canada Olympic Park offers a variety of summer programs for students. Camp Torch, the summer camp associated with the park, focuses on personal development as well as physical exercise. Some of the key skills emphasized in the program are:

Teamwork
Co-operation
Problem solving
Communication
Experimental learning
Healthy living through sports and recreation

Outdoor education is encouraged and students will have the opportunity to participate in a number of sports-related activities including:
Ultimate Frisbee
Canoeing
Biathlon
Ski jumping
Luge
Eurobungee
Archery
Mini-golf
Mountain biking
Off-site hiking trips

The Jr. Olympic and Sr. Olympic camps are some of the most popular programs because they allow students to interact with head coaches from the provincial luge, biathlon, and ski jumping programs. Many of today’s Canadian Olympians were in fact introduced to their sport for the first time at Camp Torch. Sessions in these Olympic camps include Ice House/roller luge training, two ski jump sessions, shooting at C.O.P., and firing real biathlon rifles at the Canmore Nordic Centre. The world-class training facilities available create an enticing experience for aspiring young athletes.
