Programs and Events 

Girls at Bat - Bezanson Camp
Friday, October 24, 2025 | Bezanson Community Event Centre | 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

(Sign-in begins at 8:40 a.m.)

We are proud to partner with local community groups to offer Girls At Bat, an introductory-level baseball and fastball program developed by the Jays Care Foundation. The program is designed to reduce some of the biggest barriers girls between the ages of 6 and 18 may face when accessing or participating in sport. This free, full-day camp provides a fun, inclusive, and empowering experience for participants of all skill levels.

With support from the Bezanson Agricultural Society, we’re excited to host this camp in a welcoming community space that encourages connection and active play.

Whether you're brand new to the sport or looking to build on existing skills, Girls At Bat is a great opportunity to connect with others, try something new, and enjoy a day of active play in a supportive environment.

Registration is open until Wednesday, October 22 at noon, or until limited spots are filled.
