Ever wonder what it would be like to learn skills from former Major League Baseball all-stars? Your chance is coming this summer at Île-des-Chênes’ Optimist Park. Alumnus instructors from the Toronto Blue Jays are coming to Manitoba, including Roberto Alomar, Devon White, Lloyd Moseby, and Duane Ward. They’ll be here for two days to participate in the Blue Jays Honda Super Camp. 

The Blue Jays Baseball Academy started the summer camp six years ago in partnership with Baseball Canada and Little League Canada. Their goal is to increase and promote youth participation in baseball. Ever since, communities have been bringing in all-star players to teach young players important skills.

The Blue Jays Honda Super Camps are being held across Canada in 14 different communities, coast to coast. Last year, the camp was held in Brandon.

The two-day summer camp takes place July 20–21 for players between the ages of nine and 16. All participants will receive a Blue Jays hat, T-shirt, and autographs from the alumni when they register for the camp.
