The Toronto Community Housing has partnered up with the Blue Jays Care Foundation with providing kids across the GTA a summer-long baseball camp for kids age 6 to 12. They have provided this service for 48 seasons long and continue to do so in 43 Toronto Community Housing locations.
Every week two camps face off in a fun game of baseball where they are split up by age group. Campers also go on weekly trips for the enjoyment of the campers. Lunch is also provided every day making sure that everyone gets to eat and have a healthy lunch, special lunch accommodations are also available.
Every registered camper is supplied with a hat, water bottle, backpack, glove, and t-shirt, with a current Blue Jays player on the back, making sure the kids have the proper equipment to learn and play baseball. Over 1,300 youth from 43 Toronto Community Housing neighborhoods developed their baseball skills through weekly drills, games, and tournaments.
