• As a result of the pandemic, communities have missed out on many socializing opportunities. Most outdoor activities were discouraged, leading to less active lifestyles. This will be an opportunity for community members to meet each other, and be more active outdoors.

• This skills camp will allow people to get active within their neighbourhoods. It will promote healthy living while fostering a sense of community by providing a platform for people to get to know one another over a fun outdoor activity.  

TIPS FOR WHEN & WHERE

• On a Saturday in September

• School's gymnasium or the outdoor field

Suggested Action Plan

1. Locate a local outdoor basketball court, or contact a local school or community center about using their gym. Book a date. 

2. Create and print a flyer to advertise the event in schools, and the community. Ask your friends if they might be interested in joining too. 

3. Ensure attendees sign up through text, email, or Google Forms. 

4. Connect with those who have registered to confirm the details of the event, their attendance, and their skill level.

5. Organize the event (will it be tournament style or different games in random spots?)

6. Get prizes for the winners (food, gift cards, etc), food for the attendees, basketballs, air pumps, and safety kits. 

7. Run the event!
