Please refer to the daily schedule for arrival and dismissal times. If you need to pick up early or drop off late, or if you are running late, let us know by phone so we can prepare.

We follow the weather forecasts closely and should there be inclement weather in the forecast, we will relocate to Staples High School Field House. We will send out a group email in the morning. A staff member will be there to greet you at Wakeman to direct you to Staples High/Field House. On hot and humid days, we may also relocate for short periods to a classroom at Bedford Middle School to cool down. In that case, we may show instructional videos.

Lunch with bottled water is included in our tuition and will be served daily at Bedford Middle School School Cafeteria. We will encourage hand washing/hand sanitizing before and after eating. If your child would like to purchase additional snacks in the cafeteria, they may use their Westport School lunch account or bring cash to pay with.

What does the daily schedule look like?

Please check out the daily schedule under the Summer Camp Program tap. We start the day at 9:15AM, however, if you would like to drop off early, that’s great! Early work is for those players who would like a little extra time to practice their throw, their hit, or their catch. Dismissal starts at 2:45pm. Please have your child be picked up by 3pm.

Are Health Forms required?

Yes. We are a state licensed camp in compliance with Connecticut State health and safety regulations. In accordance with the State of CT Department of Health, every player must have a signed and completed medical form on file prior to the start of camp. This form is mandatory. We do accept the health form that you use for your child’s school (good for three years). Please make sure the form is fully completed, and that both you and your doctor have signed the form before returning it to Baseball World Training School.

What is your refund/cancellation policy?

We do not offer a refund or credit for days unattended by the player. If your plans change prior to camp start and you need to cancel, we offer a partial refund, if done at least two weeks prior to the first day of camp.

What if my child requires Medicine or an Epi-pen?

Should your child require medicine while at camp, parents/guardians must provide the Camp with appropriate written authorization. Paperwork must be complete, up to date and include signatures from both parents/guardians as well as prescribing doctor. An epi-pen must be placed in its original packaging with the prescription sticker on it inside a sealed bag with your child’s name on it. Please bring the epi-pen to the welcome desk, where it will be stored in a cooled and sealed bag during your child’s time at camp. We do have select staff members trained in administration of epi-pen, however, please note that unlicensed staff may do administration of medication.

What equipment/gear should my child bring?

We encourage all campers to bring and use their own equipment. Please make sure to label with your child’s name. If your child is new to baseball, check in with us about what is the correct size of bat or any other equipment/gear.

Having the opportunity to meet and learn from former Major League players is the cornerstone of our camp program, and is an unforgettable experience. Each week, usually on Wednesday mornings, we will have a guest instructor visit our camp program to talk to our players: they will demonstrate a specific skill followed by a chance for players to practice that skill. The morning ends with an opportunity for players to meet and greet with the guest instructor. As soon as we schedule the visiting guest instructor, we will let you know!

What Are you selling in the Pro-Shop?

We have lots of exciting items and memorabilia in our shop including baseball cards, pictures, and figurines along with bats, balls, and snacks, of course.

Do I tip the instructors?

Over the years, many of our parents ask how they can show their appreciation to various staff members. While tipping is not required, it is certainly an appropriate way to reward those instructors who have gone the extra mile and contributed toward the success of your child’s camp experience.

We continue to pledge ourselves to do our very best to provide players with a safe, exciting and fun-filled camp experience, and most importantly, with quality baseball instruction. If you would like an instructor to work individually with your child to further develop their skills, private lessons are also available all year round at our private turf-lined batting cage. Please call or email to schedule appointments and discuss fees.

The greatest compliment given to us is the referral to friends and family. Thank you for your support and trust. All of us at Baseball World Training School look forward to the upcoming camp season. Please contact us at any time with questions or concerns.
