How many campers do you have at a baseball/service trip?

Our trips are capped at 30 participants to ensure that everybody receives an up close and intimate experience with our Major League players and the sights and sounds of the local culture.

What is the typical age of campers?

Our campers are generally aged between 30-55 years of age, but all persons over the age of 18 years are welcome to attend. We do our best to include a wide range of experience and fitness.

Is there an age restriction?

Generally speaking, all fantasy campers must be 18+ years of age. We will accept boys and girls under the age of 18 provided a parent or approved guardian comes along with them. If the parent/guardian wants to play, then the full cost of the camp is required for them but a group discount can be applied provided both bookings are made at the same time. If the parent/guardian does not want to play, then they can procure one of our discounted Friends & Family packages.

Are the camps restricted to men only?

Absolutely not! Both men and women are welcome. If you are a baseballing couple, even better!

What happens when it rains?

While we generally schedule our camps to take place in dry seasons, we cannot control the whims of mother nature. Our approach is to play ball in conditions of light rain. If there is a torrential downpour or risk of lightning then outdoor activities will be canceled in place of some alternative fun indoors. We will then host a “double header” game session on a subsequent day if facilities are available.

Can I bring other personal property or electronics?

Most definitely, but please be advised that Global Baseball Adventures is not responsible for any lost or damaged items.
