Summer Camps

Twins Summer Camps presented by Select Heartland Chevy Dealers are returning to communities throughout Twins Territory. Short of being Byron Buxton or Carlos Correa, these camps are as close to the real Twins experience as you can get!

Through the Twins Camps we can share a “blueprint” for baseball and softball success based upon the latest technology and decades of experience. Combine a progressive curriculum with a world-class Twins Baseball Experience and you understand why all our camps will sell out.

Read on to see why the summer of 2023 could be the best summer ever for your young player.

If you have any questions, please contact Tyler Wells at [email protected] or 612-249-9100.

Registration will open on February 22, 2023 at 10 a.m. CT.

Safety, Safety, Safety

How can we have a camp with six-year-olds and 14 year-olds? Look at it this way. A K-8 school does not have second graders and eighth graders in P.E. or math class together. They may pass in the hallways, take the same bus, and be in the same yearbook but they are not in class together. Just like school, at camp, they will be in the same place, but not in "class" together either.

We also recognize that not all players of the same age have equal ability. For safety reasons, and because it facilitates the best learning environment, players will be grouped by age and ability. These teams will then stay together throughout the week with the same coach. There will be cross-pollination of instructors but we have found that the bonds created between teammates and their primary coach is one of the truly special dynamics at camp.

And yes, at our instructors' discretion, tennis balls, whiffle balls and safety balls will be used liberally at camp. Of course, we will use regulation baseballs and softballs but fear-free confidence is a critical foundation for fun and learning success.

LET’S TALK ABOUT THE FEE

Camp cost is $425. This fee gets 30 hours of terrific instruction, four Twins game tickets, a V.I.P. day at the ballpark including meeting a current Twins player, a full Twins uniform and unforgettable friendships and memories all for about what some of us pay for a babysitter on an hourly basis. Not too bad…and this is NOT a babysitting service!

TIME TO SIGN UP

The cost is $425 (plus small processing fee). You may pay in full online OR, before May 1, 2023, you may reserve your spot with a refundable $175 deposit. The balance will be due on May 1, 2023.

PARTICIPANT AGES

Camps are open to boys and girls ages 6 to 14.

CAMP TIMES

Camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

FAMILY DISCOUNT

If you register two or more children at the same time, a $20 discount will be applied to each registration fee. In order to receive this Family/Friends Discount the registrations must be submitted together. Use code MULT20 on both registrations to receive this discount. This discount is valid only when registering two or more campers at the same time. This discount cannot be combined with any other discount.

GOT A FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT AT WORK?

Many parents use their employer's FSA benefit to save even more. Check with your employer to see if the camp fee qualifies as Dependent Care. For FSA reimbursement purposes, the camp's FEIN is 45-0643499.

CANCELLATION POLICY

You may cancel your registration up to 30 days prior to the first day of camp and receive a full refund. If you cancel between 14 days and 30 days prior to the first day of camp, you will receive a refund less $80. Please contact the office via email if you decide to cancel.

LUNCH

Campers should bring their own lunch and drinks. Please make sure to affix your player’s name to these items. And PLEASE send your ballplayer with plenty of sunscreen!

INCLEMENT WEATHER POLICY

In the event of inclement weather, outdoor camp activities will be moved indoors. Our curriculum has provisions for excellent indoor activities and instruction. We reserve the right to cancel camp days for weather-related reasons and no refunds will be given. Every effort will be made to complete instruction. In our first six seasons we have not canceled a single camp day.

COMPLIMENTARY TWINS TICKETS

Each camper will receive four tickets for a choice of one of several 2023 Twins home games. These Camper Reunion Games provide a great chance to reunite with new friends from camp. You will be able to select a date from a list of approved dates. Location of game tickets to be determined, subject to availability. Subject to change if required by the Department of Health or MLB.

FURTHER COMMUNICATIONS

Once you have registered, we will communicate additional important camp information via e-mail. Please enter your e-mail address accurately on the registration form. Also, be sure you are entering the parent or guardian e-mail address, NOT the camper’s.

V.I.P Day Trip to Target Field for a behind-the-scenes experience

On one of the five camp days campers will be bussed to Target Field for a day we are sure they will never forget. Imagine playing on the same field as your favorite Twins players. Wow! Buses will depart Target Field at approximately 2 P.M. to return campers to their camp location. The Twins reserve the right to change or discontinue the trip to Target Field due to guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health or Major League Baseball regarding COVID safety.

Every camper will be given a full, MLB quality Twins uniform (jersey, pants, hat and belt)

If you are going to train like a major leaguer, might as well dress like one.

Four Twins tickets to one of several Twins Camps Reunion games

As part of your registration, you will receive four tickets to one 2023 Twins home game. You will be able to select a date from a list of approved dates. Location of game tickets to be determined, subject to availability. ADA accessible game tickets available upon request. If conditions do not allow for tickets in the 2023 season, tickets will be distributed for the 2024 season. The ticket program is subject to change based on COVID protocols, seating availability, or any guidance from the Minnesota Department of Health, Major League Baseball, or the Minnesota Twins.

Every camper receives a keepsake graduation certificate and camp veterans will receive a special edition iron-on patch celebrating their return to Twins Camp.
