KidSport™ Kamloops is a local chapter of KidSport™ Canada. We are a not for profit organization that works to remove the financials barriers that otherwise prohibit a child from playing sports. Funds raised locally are spent locally and are distributed as grants to cover registration and/or equipment fees associated with participation in a season of sport.
We know that sport and physical activity provide invaluable opportunities for kids to learn teamwork, fair play and dedication. Through sport participation, kids learn how to set goals and work to achieve them — all while having fun and learning social and fundamental movement skills. Kids in sport benefit from increases in self-confidence and tend to lead happier, healthier lifestyles, now and in the future.
Our goal at KidSport™ Kamloops is to find more kids to help. Our assistance comes in the form of grants up to $500 per child per year to qualified applicants whereby we pay their registration fees to local sports organizations. We can often cover or help to minimize equipment cost as well.
