Courage Club Canada

About Courage Club

Courage Club is a youth character development program based in Roberts Creek, on BC's Sunshine Coast. We help kids ages 7-12 grow stronger through movement, mindset and real-world skills — building the confidence, discipline and resilience they need for life.

Our program is built on seven letters — C-O-U-R-A-G-E — and three pillars: Movement, (Me)ntality and Mindfulness. It runs right inside schools, so every kid can take part, no matter their schedule, their start point or their story.

Why We Exist

To build confident, capable and self-aware children, strengthening character, resilience and leadership for life.

What We Do

We bring Courage Club to kids across the Sunshine Coast, partnering with schools, families and community organizations to deliver a proven program that kids love and parents can see working.

Where We're Going

A generation of grounded, confident, resilient young leaders who live healthy, self-directed lives, and a Courage Club that becomes a trusted name in communities across Canada.

What We Believe

Courage in Action

Courage isn't a feeling you wait for. It's a choice kids practise, one challenge at a time.

Character First

Skills matter, but who kids become matters more. We build character before anything else.

Structured Growth

Every letter follows a proven path: clear goals, real challenges, and progress kids can see.

Self-Leadership

Kids learn to lead themselves first — their effort, their choices, their attitude.

Whole-Person Strength

Strong body, strong mind, strong heart. We train all three, together.

Meet the Founder

"There's no secret to confidence. It comes from experience."

Hi, I'm Ryan Kingsberry. I started Courage Club because I want to leave this world a better place than I found it. I've spent more than 15 years working with kids — as a 3rd degree black belt in Freestyle Martial Arts, I built a martial arts school to 1,000 students, and along the way I've supported kids and individuals with ADHD, Down syndrome and autism.

Courage Club is everything I've learned about building confidence in young people, brought into schools so every kid gets the chance to find out what they're made of.
