The Royal Glenora Club has just released the schedules for their annual summer camps. Here is the information:

$312.50 for non members

“Participants in this camp have already surpassed the intermediate level of play and are ready for a higher level of training and competitive badminton. They are capable of tournament play. Fee includes camp shirt. This camp has a limited number of spaces. Register early!! Minimum age of 10 years old, unless the player is exceptional”

High Performance Camp
July 31st-August 11
9:00am-4:00pm
One Week= $300 for RGC members and affiliated club members or $375 for non-members
Both Weeks= $500 for RGC members and affiliated club members or $625 for non-members

“This camp involves very highly skilled players including top badminton players from other provinces as well as the RGC. Many participants have won city, provincial, and national badminton championships. Training is very demanding, and intense. This camp requires hard work!”

I went to the high performance camp for years, and so have a lot of other players, many much better than myself. Some people that have attended include Bobby and Will Milroy, Mathieu Laforest, Conrad and Tammy Sun, and countless others over the years. Wang Wen will be the main man in charge this year. He was on the Chinese national team way back in his younger years, and has won numerous Canadian National titles. Basically he is pretty kick-ass, and if you wanna improve your game, come to one of these camps!!!

The Royal Glenora Club is based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The weather in Edmonton during the summer months is AWESOME! Really warm, but not uncomfortably hot (usually between 20 and 25 degrees celcius). The Royal Glenora Club is a really cool place, with a nice pool to relax during lunch break, after training, and on the weekends when the camps are not running (you better be training during camp time). I’ll put up some pictures next week for you to check out, after I get back from San Francisco that is. If you register early you will have no problem finding a host family to take care of you.
