We’ve always been a home for kids of many different experiences and skill levels through our programming. Sure, all of our participants love baseball, but they don’t all love the same things – and that’s okay! Sometimes even our hardest-working athletes just want some time off intense training in the summer to have fun, be silly, and play for the love of the game. We love that!
But we also know that we have campers who take baseball seriously year round. They want to step things up at every opportunity, have the most fun when they’re working hard, and are hungry to learn new things all the time. We don’t want them to lose their passion just because they’re intensely focused.
That’s why we first started our Elite Summer Camp. We wanted to offer a program for those kids to learn and practice their technical skills at a more intense level than our High Performance Camp, and to see solid improvement. Those camps have taken different forms over the years, and we’ve had many campers do both! They’ll do a week of Elite training, and then jump back into regular camp for the rest of the summer.
As we prepared for this summer, we realized one key point about our Elite Camp…
To train like a pro, you have to learn from a pro!
That’s why we’re beyond excited to launch our new Pro Camp! We’ve recruited Jaz Shergill, who’s played professional baseball all over the world, and has a rich network of professional players to help out. He’ll be bringing his friends – former professional, semi-professional, and high-level college baseball players to help instruct our most eager campers.
If you want to eventually throw 90+ m.p.h fastball, or hit a homerun over 400 feet, you need to learn from someone who’s actually done it! Our experts are going to show our most eager campers exactly that, and teach them the tricks they learned in the field on how to work towards the big leagues.
Of course, we still need some time to be silly! Life is too short to be taken seriously 24/7, and our Canadian summers are definitely too short not to have fun with friends at summer camp.
Instead, what we’ve done is integrated our new Pro Camp as a stream of our main camp. Campers enrolled will be able to attend Pro Camp in the mornings, and then join in with our regular mainstream camp in the afternoon! This way kids can still bond with their favourite counsellors, stay connected with their friends, and don’t have to miss out on any of the summer fun (aka Wiffle Ball!!).

If you’re looking for your classical Field of Dreams summer experience, we’re not going anywhere, so sign up today to make sure you get your spot. But if you’re looking for that extra something, and if you really want to put in that extra work to get to the next level, we’ve got that something extra just for you. Remember: in order to play like a pro, it’s best to train with a pro!
See you this summer!
