What Our Families Say

Not only did my grandson have a great time, he learned lots.

I am not from a sports background and did not know what to expect when we registered my son for RAW camp. I was so impressed by the open and welcoming atmosphere created for both the athletes and parents, the well-rounded training that included focus on sportsmanship and basic life skills, and the obvious dedication of the coaches and other organizers. Everything ran very smoothly, would for sure register again.

The coaching provided hits the right balance between sports and life skills! Learning great technique is important, but the life lessons these young men are being taught will stick with them far beyond the field. The best coaches know that sports can teach discipline, teamwork, perseverance, and leadership – traits that are invaluable both on and off the field. My son’s home club, Airdrie Football recommended Raw camp to us and both Austin and family are very impressed.

Great job Team Raw!

My sons just finished RAW Sports Camp and honestly, it was one of the best experiences they’ve ever had!

They learned so much—not just about techniques and drills, but also about discipline, teamwork, and mindset. The energy at camp was incredible!

Thanks to everyone at RAW for making them feel welcome, strong, and part of the team!

The RAW Camp was recommended to us by the Vernon Secondary School (Panthers) coaching staff, and it’s become a highlight of the summer for my boys. They really enjoy getting on the field during the off-season to train, improve, and stay connected to the game. As a parent, I appreciate that it’s a full five days of high-quality coaching and structure. They had such a great experience that this year they attended not only the Kelowna camp but also the Vancouver camp. Thank you for putting on such a fantastic program!

My son had one of the best experiences in his very young and fresh football journey. I found that the coaches are built with experience, dedication and a pure love for the sport and a joy for teaching kids in the field . This camp showed my son what it’s like to build perseverance and a mentality of toughness, this was represented by all of the coaches as well as some of the other kids on the field. Roland’s was excited to get up and go each day and learn something new , with that said they made him feel welcome and had patience with each and every child on the field regardless of there ability. You can clearly see that the raw program is passionate about what they do and with the coaching staff they have involved. Everything in the program has a winning attitude from the owners to the equipment staff and coaches. They show pride in what they do and it clearly demonstrates that win or lose you get back in the saddle and try again ! This program is so much more than football it’s LIFE skills that they can take on and off the field.

I can’t express the gratitude we have as a family for finding RAW and all the people involved!

With gratitude Michelle (football mom) and Roland

We were blown away by this camp! The coaches are phenomenal and the staff were all so friendly! They went above and beyond to make our 4 year old daughter feel comfortable and she ended up loving every minute of it. I love their “nobody gets left behind” mentality. They worked with her to help her overcome her nerves and she left one very confident little girl, begging to go back! The skills taught are invaluable and will help with any sport. They emphasized kindness, team work, hard work and many other life skills within this 3 hour camp! We are happy we sent her and we cannot wait to recommend this to all of my patients and friends! Thank you!!!

As a parent of a first-year Bantam Stampeders player, I can confidently say this camp is a must for any serious young athlete entering the program. The coaching staff struck the perfect balance between building strong football fundamentals and instilling life skills that will serve these young men well beyond the field.

Since attending the RAW Summer Camp 2025, my son can’t wait to rejoin his team after the break with a new confidence. He’s gained not only a refined skill set, but also the mindset, discipline, and leadership tools that are critical for success both in football and life. This experience has elevated his passion for the game and helped him see what it truly means to be a part of a team.

Highly recommended for any player looking to grow into their potential–on and off the field.

This camp was a game changer for Kase to elevate his abilities, technique and confidence. It was a fabulous mix of providing the athletes with comprehensive development from combine, to Indy, installs, film and camaraderie. And as a Peewee group being able to experience time with older athletes was aspirations. Kase took on a new role development at the camp to round out his repertoire. Fantastic investment and sending him into the Fall season at North Langley Bears ready to deliver with his newfound skills.

My son learnt alot while he was at camp, the coach’s where always giving him pointers and encouraging him. With being new to the sports, it has built his confidence and he is ready to take on the fall season.

My one suggestion would be to explain in the description of the camp that it is focused only on 12 man football, with being from Drayton Valley we don’t play 12 man and so he was overwhelmed at times. Learning 12 man is good for him, but was a challenge at the camp.
