A Whole New Camp Experience
EAST BAY - SESSION DETAILS + UPDATES
We’re excited for the opportunity to safely lead Bay Area children back towards a sense of normalcy, socialization, and movement. We’ve reimagined our Giants Camps curriculum to incorporate the aspects we’re known and loved for such as amazing professional educators, best-in-class safety, and fun competitions and games.
Session Dates + Locations
July 13 - July 17 @ OSAGE PARK in DANVILLE
July 27 - July 31 @ WILDER FIELDS in ORINDA
What will camp look like?
Think of what you know (or have heard) about a week of Giants Camp: a staff of professional educators greeting your camper with a smile (behind a mask) and welcoming them to a day full of connections, competitions, games, character development, and (distanced) secret handshakes.
Our campers will be in small cohorts of no more than 12 total children. Campers and still will not switch groups or mix with other groups throughout the camp session.
We’ve made curriculum modifications to keep camp dynamic and engaging even with smaller group sizes.
Cost
Camp tuition is $620 per week.
Camp Times
Parents may drop off as early as 8:30am each morning and pick-up as late as 3:30pm each afternoon (Monday-Friday). Due to the requirements of the health order, we will not be able to provide after care for any session this summer. We hope that, by expanding our “camp day” by 90 minutes, we make the transition away from after care as easy as possible on families who typically use that service.
What will be included and what will be different from previous Giants Camps?
No Ballpark Visit We will not take campers to the ballpark during any of our 2020 camp sessions.
Camp Size We’ve limited our overall camp size to no greater than 60 total children, so as to create more space on our fields and accommodate smaller group sizes.
Division Size (age group size) will shrink from a typical group of 30-40 campers to no more than 12 campers, and remain static (no staff or camper switching groups) for the entire session.
Uniform campers will be given two Giants Camp jerseys on their fist day of camp. We will not provide the remainder of the Giants uniform in 2020. Campers are welcome to wear their own uniform pieces to camp or simply wear athletic shorts and other gear. Given the importance of cleanliness and sanitation this summer, we want to avoid families to having the burden of cleaning a full baseball uniform each evening for three weeks.
Giveaways we will still have many of our traditional giveaways and recognition components to camp such as stickers, pins, and eyeblack. We’re also adding some fun new giveaways to the camp format.
Drills, Games + Competitions will be adapted to create the safest possible experience
Example: We will have two sets of bases on each field. One set will exist for the baserunners and the second set will exist for the fielders, to create maximum spacing.
We will not use catchers in any of our games. Coaches will pitch wearing a batting glove on their throwing hand and a net will catch all the balls behind the batter.
Please note that, as always, Giants Baseball Camp tuition is non refundable. In the event of cancellation (by camp family or local government) a full-value tuition credit, valid and transferable through summer 2023, will be issued.
