Summer Sport Camp Manual Development

The main goal for the project is to develop a 4-week summer sport camp manual that focuses on scaffolding skills development over the duration of the camp.

This will involve several different steps for the students, including:-Researching and understanding traditional Indigenous sports and games as well as the history and use of mainstream sports in colonization. - Researching and understanding the principles of scaffolding skills development in sports.- Creating a comprehensive manual that outlines the skills development progression over the 4-week camp.- Developing example drills for mainstream sports that align with the skills development progression.-Creating instructions and examples to lead and instruct traditional Indigenous sports/games-Creating a section on emotional regulation games/activities with instructions and examples.-Creating a section with crafting/arts related activities- Incorporating feedback from sports coaches, knowledge keepers, and other experts to ensure the effectiveness of the manual.An initial draft manual is in existence that can be used as a starting point to give direction to this project.
