What if my child has never played baseball before?
We encourage players of all abilities to attend the camp. Whether your child is an experienced veteran or is new to the sport, there is a place for him/her at the camp.
Are the instructors trained in emergency situations?
Instructors are certified in First Aid and CPR.
What should my child bring to camp?
Your child should bring athletic clothes appropriate for the weather (shorts, sweatpants or baseball pants, t-shirt, hat). Additionally, he/she should bring running shoes, baseball cleats, a protective athletic support, and plenty of water and sunscreen. It is also a good idea to bring your own baseball equipment.
Should I include snacks in my child’s lunch?
It is a good idea to pack extra snacks because your child will be active throughout the day.
What happens if my child has food allergies?
If a child has a severe allergy to food (such as peanuts or nuts), that type of food will not be allowed at camp.
What happens if it rains?
We play as scheduled, rain or shine, however there is shelter from the rain at our facility. It is important to bring weather appropriate clothes in the event of rain.
What do I do if I want to drop my child off early for camp, or pick him/her up later?
It is possible to arrange before and after camp service, the cost is $5 / half hour. Please contact the camp director and we will try our best to accommodate your schedule.
Should my child bring his/her own equipment to camp?
The camp will provide standard baseball gloves, balls, bats, helmets and catching equipment. We encourage the child to bring their own batting helmet and any of their own equipment they prefer to use.
Will my child be able to attend the camp if he/she has a physical or mental disability?
We will try our best to accommodate your child, but due to the nature of the camp this may not be possible. Please contact the camp director if your child is interested in attending.
Will my child be in any pictures and/or videos?
We will not photograph or film your child without parental permission.
What if I want to come to camp for only 1 day?
We accept “drop in” players at the rate of $50 per day or $30 per half-day. Drop in players will have the option to purchase a camp hat for $10 or VAS jersey for $20. Drop ins are more than welcome to attend Nat Bailey Days with the camp! This is a great opportunity to play some baseball during the morning and then watch the pros play while enjoying an afternoon at the ballpark.
Does the camp offer half-day sessions?
Parents requiring a half-day of camp may choose from the morning or afternoon schedule each day. Half-day programs are available for $150 a session (or $125 for returning players / additional sessions). Players will still receive a camp hat & jersey, and are welcome to join us for Nat Bailey Days. Half-day registrants will have the option to attend the morning or afternoon camp each day, whatever best fits their schedule.
What if my child is too young to participate?
Children as young as 5 years old who will be entering the 1st grade of elementary are eligible to participate in the summer camp program.
I love your baseball clothing! How can I get an extra hat or jersey?
Additional Vancouver All Stars hats will be available for $10 and jerseys for $20 (while supplies last). Please ask the camp director if you would like to purchase additional clothing.
How can I become a volunteer at the camp?
Vancouver All Stars welcomes volunteers interested in having fun while developing their confidence and leadership skills. Volunteers ages 13 and up are welcome to attend. Please contact registration@vancouverallstars.ca for more information.
How can my local business support this children's program?
Vancouver All Stars aims to partner itself with local Vancouver businesses to increase their exposure in the community through supporting youth baseball. Businesses interested in sponsorship are welcome to contact us at registration@vancouverallstars.ca. We look forward to hearing from you!
