In case it rains, we have access to Forest Hill Memorial Arena, located next door to Memorial Park. We are able to use one of the two ice surfaces (which is not frozen in the summer) for physical activity and baseball instruction. If it is raining in the morning or afternoon, drop off and pick up will take place at the entrance to the arena.
We operate optional bus service if you need help with pick up and/or drop off. Please see Transportation for more information.
At the end of each week, players will receive a personalized Scouting Report detailing their strengths and areas for improvement. Players will be scouted on their hitting, defence and pitching, giving them an opportunity to demonstrate skills and techniques learned throughout the week.
At 8:30am parents will drop off their children and sign in with our staff. Short activities will take place until camp begins at 9:00am (such as dodge ball, soccer and trivia).
Coaches will lead campers through a warm up and dynamic stretching.
Campers will warm-up their arms with specific throwing exercises. Every day campers will review the fundamentals of throwing and learn new drills emphasizing proper form.
Skill Groups: All campers are divided into Skill Groups based on age and skill level. Campers will move from station to station with their group throughout the week. Stations: Each day features stations designed to focus on a specific range of skills. Types of stations include: Hitting, Defense and Position Specific practice. For example, on 'Defense Day', players are rotated through a variety of stations including infield, outfield and pitching.
Campers will gather for a short water and snack break.
Skill Groups will continue rotating through their stations. See 10:00 – 10:45am for more details!
After finishing their lunch, campers will get a chance to participate in organized lunch time activities.
After lunch, friendly competitions and activities will take place. Contests include “Gold Glove”, “Home-Run Derby", and the famous "Base Running Game'! This is an opportunity for campers to have some fun and try out their new skills.
A quick water and snack break will be taken.
On Monday campers will be divided into teams each coached by an instructor. The teams compete in a round-robin tournament from Monday to Thursday and battle for the Championship on Friday afternoon. During the games, instructors will pause to discuss strategy and positioning.
Camp ends at 3:30pm. Parents are welcome to pick up their children between 3:30 and 4:00pm.
If a camper cannot be picked up by 4:00pm, we offer extended care until 5:00pm for a small additional fee.
