RAW Summer Camp 2026 · Calgary
Five Calgary kids, plus arrivals from Sherbrooke, Strathmore, Sylvan Lake and Whitecourt. The youngest MVP class of the summer, and every one of them already knows exactly what he is chasing. Meet the athletes who owned the week at the 2026 RAW Calgary Summer Camp.
Nobody hands out an MVP medal on day one. At a RAW camp you earn it in the reps nobody films: the third one-on-one of the morning, the drill you lost yesterday, the walk back to the line when your legs are done.
Over a week in Calgary, nine athletes did exactly that. Different positions, different hometowns, different dreams. Same habit.
Here is the class.
The Roll Call
Five rushing touchdowns in one peewee game, and he is class of 2030.
Flynn walked out of Calgary with two pieces of hardware: the camp’s top offensive award and Quarterback of the Day. He is class of 2030. Most kids his age are still working out which position they like.
Fast, calm, vision. That middle one is the tell. Speed is common at his age and vision can be taught, but calm at quarterback is either there or it is not. He has already worn a Team Alberta flag football jersey, and his favourite memory is a peewee game where he ran for five touchdowns against the Wildcats.
The goal is Division 1, and he was specific that it includes the academic half.
“Fast, calm, vision.”
Flynn Bell, in his own three words
Three straight sportsmanship awards, and now this one.
Three sportsmanship awards in a row is not an accident and it is not a consolation prize. It means that for three straight seasons, the people running his league decided he was the kid they wanted other kids to copy. Then he came to Calgary and was the best defensive player in the building.
Ask him for his favourite football memory and the answer is this award. Not a game, not a play, not a season. A nine-year-old-through-fourteen-year-old football career, and the highlight so far is the week he just had. That is the whole point of running these camps.
“Coachable, hardworking, leadership.”
Wylde Murdoch, in his own three words
A winter and a summer of work, cashed in over one week.
Andy did not point at camp week when asked what the award meant. He pointed at the winter, and then the summer, and all the work in between that nobody watched. Camp was just where it finally showed up on a scoreboard.
Smart, quick, energetic is a good description of a defensive back, and the memory he picked is the one every DB remembers: the first interception. There is nothing like it and nothing else quite replaces it.
“Smart, quick, energetic.”
Andy Perreault, in his own three words
Every rep graded, all week.
Quarterback is the one position where there is nowhere to hide: everybody watches every throw. Jacob spent the week under that spotlight and came out of it with the award.
Separation, every rep.
One-on-ones are the most public drill at any camp, win or lose in front of everybody. Robert spent the week on the right side of that ledger often enough that the receiver award was not a close call.
Downhill, all week.
Running back is the position where the tape settles the argument. Marek ran through a full week of live work against a defence that knew what was coming and kept getting what he wanted.
The week’s most thankless job, done best.
Nobody films the offensive line and nobody thanks them until something goes wrong. Isac spent a full week making sure nothing did, and the staff noticed.
Pressure up front, all week long.
Interior pressure changes everything behind it. Jackson spent the week making the quarterback’s clock run faster than it was supposed to, and the rest of the defence got to play easier because of it.
Wherever the ball went, he got there.
That is the whole job description at linebacker, and Hunter did it rep after rep. A week of competition against a talented group, and the defence kept running through the middle of him.
Nine athletes, and the youngest MVP class of the summer. Two of them graduate in 2030 and all three who told us their goal named the same one: Division 1.
What they share is the thing no award can hand you: they got better this week, on purpose.
Congratulations to Flynn, Wylde, Jacob, Marek, Robert, Isac, Jackson, Hunter and Andy. We will be watching this season.
