Update (added June 29):

All events on Tuesday will commence one hour later, i.e. start is now 10:00 am. This will make it easier for Victoria athletes to arrive on time.

All billeting arrangements are for ONE NIGHT only, i.e. Tuesday night. Athletes who plan on arriving on Monday must make their own arrangements.

Please pack a bathing suit when you come as there may be the opportunity for some water activities.

BC Summer Games

Zone 6  Team Camp

BC Summer Games Team Camp

 

Open to all Athletes who make the Summer Games Team as well as their personal coaches and parents

Zone Six (Vancouver Island and Powell River) has traditionally been a powerhouse in Track and Field at the BC Summer Games.  The teams of athletes selected to compete as our representatives have always done us, their clubs, and themselves proud at these Games.  Former Zone Six athletes will tell you that the Summer Games are unlike any other competition, and that the experience is not one to take lightly.  This may be the first time that you have made select team for a large competition, and it can be a little overwhelming.  In order to support you in achieving your very best performance at the games we are offering a BC Games Zone Six Team training camp.  This will be a chance for you, our representative athletes, to have some fun meeting your teammates and coaches.  It is also my hope that you might learn a little more about your events and see yourself in a video analysis while getting some good advice on peaking and competing.  All of this is aimed at preparing you and everyone on the team mentally and emotionally for the Games experience.  We have a two day camp ready, should you make the team be sure to come.
