Learn to Fish
Learn to Fish will launch this summer at eight popular fishing destinations across the province. This program is designed to introduce fishing to beginners of all ages and to encourage proper fishing practices amongst these new users.

The program will begin with a classroom teaching portion where an experienced angler will introduce participants to the following topics: Fish identification, tackle and accessories, rules and regulations, how to cast, proper fish handling and much more! The teaching portion will be followed by a hands-on casting lesson, and once participants have the basics of casting they will have the chance to try their luck at catching a real fish! Program participants are not required to own/bring along any equipment as everything will be provided.

Learn to Camp!

The Ministry of Parks, Culture and Sport has an exciting new opportunity for those who are new to camping! The Provincial Parks have partnered with Coleman and Canadian Tire to launch a new Learn to Camp program aimed at teaching first time users the basics of camping.

Between June 27 and August 16 we are running Learn to Camp programs in three of our provincial parks. In this program participants will have a chance at a hands on approach; they will be lead through how to use different camping equipment such as a camp stove as well as some basic camping skills such as firing building, all of which is helping prepare then to go out on their own!

We are also offering a community outreach in which the participants will learn some of the basics of planning a camping, including what gear they will need, helping prepare them for the best experience possible. This part of the program is offered for free and we would love to come out to as many places as possible!

YAS Summer Basketball School

40th Annual Young Athlete Saskatchewan Summer Basketball School

YAS Award-Winning Basketball Camps
• Cosmo Civic Centre Weekly Throughout August
• Different Camps For Different Skill Levels
• Everyone Welcome

YAS coaches are continuously innovating and adjusting the YAS summer basketball camps skills-development program in order to maintain YAS’s standing as a sports-school leader. Each year, top teacher-coaches from universities, colleges and secondary schools are surveyed in order to determine the skills that they regard as current top priority and in need of emphasis among young developing players.

That input from college professionals and teacher-coaches is then incorporated into YAS summer basketball camps.
12,547 players from 272 communities have graduated from YAS’s award-winning summer basketball camps since YAS was founded in 1975. Each YAS graduate returned home armed with the skills and confidence needed to excel in basketball and other sports, and most importantly to take leadership roles at school and to make positive contributions to their overall communities.

Great Annual Saskatchewan Pedal 2015

The Great Annual Saskatchewan Pedal is a bicycle ride across some of the greatest frontier of North America. GASP is a bicycle tour, and not a race. The tour is designed to allow you to travel at your pace while providing you with the support you need to enjoy the tour.

GASP 2015: From Border to Border … Again!
In 2005 for the provincial centennial the GASP tour traversed the province. Ten years later were are going to do it again. Over that time the tour has grown so this year we are offer two tours.

The first tour (E section July 18-25) will be geared towards more experienced touring cyclists and provides a more basic level of support. SAG stops will be less frequent otherwise the same support will be provided. The second section (B section July 19-26) will be geared towards less experienced touring cyclist and provide a SAG wagon stop approximately 20-30kms.

The tour will start near Macklin, on the Alberta – Saskatchewan border. From there we will be working our way out east with stops in Wilkie, Biggar, Saskatoon, Wakaw, Tisdale and Hudson Bay (the town not the water body!). You will enjoy riding roads through beautiful prairies, parklands and forests. 624 km of Saskatchewan highways. It will be a challenge but remember this tour is fully supported with SAG wagons!

GASP provides an introduction to cycle touring in a supportive manner. Luggage is transferred for cyclists, SAG Wagons make periodic stops and provide refreshments including juice, water, fruit and light snacks. We want you to cycle the whole tour but we’ll be there to help you to the destination if need be.
