Junior Baseball Camp Junior Baseball Camp

Introduction

Junior Camp in Lawrence Park is a recreational day camp for boys and girls of all skill levels, ages 4 to 7 years old. Located at John Ross Robertson Jr. Public School, Junior Camp operates Monday to Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and is designed to improve the fundamental movement skills of our early-years campers in a baseball-specific environment. We will teach all of the wacky rules of baseball and play fun games to learn the different techniques. By developing their running, throwing, and catching skills, campers will build the self-confidence necessary to help them succeed as a young athlete.

True North Sports Camps’ baseball programs are run by North Toronto Baseball Camp, which was started by the founders of True North Sports Camps. A staple in the Toronto community since 2007!

Why Junior Camp?

Junior Camp is designed to help our 4 to 7 year old campers develop the movement skills required to become an all-star! All of our instruction and activities have been prepared to meet the developmental stages of our younger campers. More time will be spent focused on building the fundamental skills (eg. throwing, catching, and running) that every baseball player needs to succeed. We will take more time to explain the rules of baseball so that every player leaves camp with a stronger understanding of the game.
