Travis Price’s legacy is the gift of outdoor adventure and education

Travis Price had a zest for life, loved the great outdoors, and spent many formative years at the family cottage and attending summer camp. At just 16, Travis passed away suddenly from an undiagnosed heart condition during a game of high school hockey. Supported by the Price family, three of Travis’ closest friends – Adam Coates, Taylor Ethans and Connor McGarry – launched the Travis Price Classic Golf Tournament (TPC) in his honour, with the goal of raising funds to enrich the lives of other youth through a cause that embodies Travis’ own values of kindness, inclusiveness. adventure and teamwork. Since 2010, the TPC has raised more than $4 million for Manitoba camps, including $2.8 million for Camp Manitou over the past 11 years. These funds have gone toward building new cabins, climbing walls, a zipline and the newest addition, a human foosball activity, as well as installing outdoor fitness equipment, a custom-made lake and a variety of other activity centres which have provided new opportunities for more youth to learn and grow.

Over and above the annual tournament, the Price family donated funds to build a modern and expanded lodge – The Travis Price Centre – which allowed Camp Manitou to more than double their daily summer attendance.

With a celebration of camaraderie and charity held for each year of Travis’ life, the 2025 tournament marked the 16^th and final Travis Price Classic. Through this generosity, countless youth have been meaningfully impacted in Travis’ memory, developing life skills, cultivating friendships, gaining newfound confidence and independence and most of all, creating memories and having fun.

We are immeasurably grateful for the generosity the Price family and supporters of the Travis Price Classic which have allowed us to welcome even more kids to camp – especially those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to experience the benefits of camp. We are honoured to carry on Travis’ legacy through our work to empower youth and look forward to continuing to build kids up through nature and adventure, reflective of Travis’ own spirit. – Jeff Hofer, Director, Camp Manitou
