LANTZ:<\/strong> This past week the inaugural Bridge the Gap Youth Football Camp was held at the Fieldhouse Dome in Lantz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was brought to you by The Berglund Bridge and Founder & CEO Isaac Adeyemi-Berglund, a Defensive Lineman with the CFL’s Montreal Alouettes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aim of the high-energy, co-ed, inclusive football experience was to develop young athletes on and off the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This camp is about more than drills and skills. It\u2019s about confidence, mentorship, teamwork, and creating a positive space where youth can learn, grow, and have fun.<\/p>\n\n\n

Two of the Als players came to the camp from Phoenix, Arizona, overcoming many hours of airport delays to get to East Hants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Municipal Affairs Minister and Hants East MLA John A MacDonald stopped by, along with The Laker News, to the event on Monday to learn a bit more as it kicked off. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Fieldhouse Dome was closed for the private event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are some photos from our visit as the camp instructors were introduced to the 60 or so campers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is expected to be back bigger and better next year.<\/p>\n\n\n
