Developmental Camp

Session Description

The Verse Athletics Developmental Camp is a competitive, non-contact, skills camp held at the University of Waterloo. This event is designed to create a University style, fast paced competitive environment for athletes looking to elevate their game. As a bonus, the event will be attended by U Sports and CJFL scouts seeking talent from athletes looking to play at the next level.
