Movement Academy Vision
Aims to create a community that challenges and nurtures the whole child through fun, individual & community-based growth, physical literacy opportunities for future sport development and overarching well-being. Our aspiration is to accomplish this aim through safe, positive, and diverse learning environments that are connected to nature with exceptional professional leadership along with strength-based educational practices.
Mission Statement
Mission Statement
Our mission statement at camp Purposeful PLAY is to create the next generation of active and healthy movers. By allowing children to take risks and face challenges through movement experiences, we hope to build independence, resiliency, and self-esteem in a safe, supportive and educative environment. This includes instilling an appreciation of Indigenous and Land-Based learnings that formidably connect the cultures and ceremony of various First Nations Metis and Inuit traditions to purposeful play provocations. Within the wisdom, spirit and scholarship of quality physical literacy experiences our team is devoted to the development of the whole child.

returns to their community as a more responsible and compassionate individual who is able to establish a healthy lifestyle pattern
can obtain a degree of competence and confidence of fundamental movement skills
is able to make new friends by expanding one’s social and leadership skill sets
is able to establish a stronger connection to the land and the cultures that tie us to it as acts of stewardship
Strategies
Strategies
By using Margaret Whitehead’s (2010) inspiration for Physical Literacy; which can be described as a disposition in which individuals have the motivation, confidence, physical competence, knowledge and understanding to value and take responsibility for maintaining purposeful physical pursuits/activities throughout the life-course, our qualified Team is able to apply a strength-based Physical Literacy Framework through movement in an effort to develop the whole child. Adapted with permission, our foundational strategies were first developed by the Australian Sport Commission (2014) which serve to guide our teachings in the physical, cognitive, social and affective learning domains of movement competence.
