Barrie Baycats Summer Camps

The Barrie Baycats will be hosting another big summer of camp this coming July! Last summer was the biggest summer camp in the history of the organization with a week of march break camp indoors and 3 weeks of summer camp at Vintage Throne Stadium! 

In 2023, the Barrie Baycats will continue with a March Break Camp on March 13th-17th at the Warehouse in South Barrie, followed by 3 weeks of summer camp to accommodate the demand and make sure everyone can register for camp, and if desired for multiple weeks.  

As per each year, the camps will be divided into Select/Rep and House League/Beginners. There will be 2 weeks of Rep/Select, with a 2-week package at a discounted rate. To note, your child does not need to be registered for a rep or select program to sign up for this camp, it just means it's the more competitive camp of the two. 

SELECT & REP WEEK 1 - July 10th - July 14th - 9:00am-3:00pm

SELECT & REP WEEK 2 - July 17th - July 21st - 9:00am-3:00pm
