Calgary Stampeders Receiver Dejon Brissett to Host Youth Camp

Calgary Stampeders wide receiver Dejon Brissett will host a youth football camp at McMahon Stadium in Calgary ^[1].

The initiative aims to increase local youth engagement with the sport and promote active participation in football within the community ^[1].

Brissett, a key member of the Stampeders roster, is organizing the event to provide mentorship and skill development for aspiring athletes [1, 2]. By opening the gates of McMahon Stadium to young players, the camp seeks to bridge the gap between professional athletes and the local community ^[1].

The program focuses on the fundamentals of the game while encouraging a healthy lifestyle through athletics. Organizers said the camp will serve as an inspiration for children to pursue sports at a competitive level ^[1].

While specific dates for the camp have not been finalized, the event will take place at the team's home stadium ^[1]. The Stampeders have a history of community outreach, and this camp aligns with broader efforts to grow the game of football in Alberta [1, 2].

Local families are expected to participate in the clinics, which will be led by Brissett and other support staff. The focus remains on skill acquisition, and the promotion of teamwork among the youth participants ^[1].
