Assistant Director Flag Football Camp

Overview

True North Sports Camps offers year-round sports programming for boys and girls ages 2 to 14 in Toronto, Etobicoke and Oshawa. We offer baseball, flag football, basketball, soccer, multi-sport and hockey day camps as well as after-school and weekend programs during the fall, winter and spring. At True North, we believe that recreational sports are an important part of every child’s development and we make it our top priority to deliver a truly memorable experience.

True North Sports Camps was created by the founders of North Toronto Baseball Camp, and since 2007 our goal has remained the same: to provide the highest quality sports instruction in a fun, safe and encouraging environment.

The True North Philosophy
