What are the camp hours?

Camp runs from 8:45 AM to 2:45 PM, Monday through Friday.

To support busy family schedules, we also offer:

• Morning Extended Day: begins at 8:00 AM
• Afternoon Extended Day: runs until 5:00 PM

We additionally offer small-group hitting and fielding lessons after camp until 4:00 PM. These sessions give ballplayers extra time to reinforce the skills they learned during the day. Lesson spots are limited and often fill well before the camp week begins.

What should my ballplayer bring to camp?

Please label every item with your ballplayer’s first initial and last name.

Daily essentials include:

• Baseball glove
• Cleats and athletic shoes (sneakers required for any indoor activities)
• Sunscreen (spray preferred for ease of use)
• Nut free lunch in a labeled bag with an ice pack
• Water bottle (we provide water for refilling throughout the day)
• Bat*
• Helmet*

*We strongly encourage campers to bring their own bat and helmet. Limited loaner equipment is available if needed and will be returned to coaches at the end of the camp day.

What is the age range for ballplayers?

New York Yankees Baseball Summer Camps welcomes ballplayers entering kindergarten through eighth grade.

Do ballplayers need prior baseball experience?

No. We welcome all levels — from first-time ballplayers to experienced travel team players.

How are campers grouped into teams?

Ballplayers are placed on teams according to rising grade. Within each grade group, we balance skill levels to create a fun, safe, and developmentally appropriate baseball experience.

Can my ballplayer be placed on a team with friends or siblings?

Yes — families may submit Buddy Group requests during registration.

• Ballplayers may request up to three (3) friends
• All friends must be in the same rising grade to be placed together
• We do our best to honor buddy requests whenever team balance and enrollment allow

While requests cannot be guaranteed, we make every effort to keep at least one requested friend together when possible.

Who are the coaches?

Our coaching staff includes:

• High school coaches
• Travel program coaches
• Current or former collegiate & high school players

All staff complete a rigorous screening process, background checks, and pre-camp training to ensure a safe, supportive, and high-energy camp environment.

Do you offer any discounts?

Yes. We offer:

• A 10% multi-program discount for siblings and repeat weeks (applied automatically to additional weeks during checkout)
• Little League & team discounts — contact us at info@yankeessummercamps.com to learn more

Will I receive confirmation after registering?

Yes. Once you complete registration and payment, you will receive a confirmation email.

If registration is completed without payment, your ballplayer will be added to the waitlist, and you will receive an email noting that status.

Will I receive additional information before camp?

Yes. As your session approaches, we send pre-camp information to the email address used at registration.

The week before your session, you’ll receive:

• Drop-off and pick-up instructions
• Monday morning procedures
• What to bring
• Helpful reminders
• Site-specific updates

During the camp week, you will also receive a handful of updates from our team.

How do waitlists work?

Once a session reaches capacity, it moves to a waitlist. Joining the waitlist is free, and no payment information is collected.

If a spot becomes available:

1. We will contact you immediately
2. You will confirm whether you’d like the spot
3. Your ballplayer is enrolled and payment is collected at that time

Do you accept walk-up registrations?

No. All campers must be registered in advance.

Where can I find the refund, credit, and transfer policies?

Please visit our Policies page for complete details.

When will my ballplayer receive their uniform?

All campers receive their official New York Yankees Baseball Summer Camps uniform on Monday morning.

Here’s how it works:

• Campers arrive Monday in regular athletic wear
• During check-in, campers receive their jersey and hat
• Additional uniform items (pants, belt, socks) are sent home Monday afternoon in a labeled uniform bag
• For the remainder of the week, campers wear their jersey and hat daily

Does my child need to wear their jersey every day?

Yes. Campers should wear their camp jersey each day, except for Monday morning before they receive it.

Do I need to pack lunch every day?

Yes. Please send a labeled lunch with an ice pack; refrigeration is not available on site.
If lunch requires utensils, please include those as well.

Please note: New York Yankees Baseball Summer Camps are nut-free.

Do you provide sunscreen?

Yes. While we encourage campers to bring their own, we have sunscreen available on-site and will apply it with your permission.

How do you handle inclement weather?

Weather procedures vary by facility, but in all cases:

• We communicate proactively with families
• We make every effort to host camp safely
• If weather causes us to cancel, families receive a credit equivalent to the missed day

How do you handle summer heat?

Our staff closely monitors heat conditions. We build in:

• Frequent water breaks
• Mandatory sunscreen breaks
• Shade/rest periods
• Adjusted schedules during extreme heat

If high temperatures are expected, we send guidance to families in advance.

Can parents watch camp activities?

No. For safety and to preserve the flow of the camp day, we do not permit parent observation.

Can you accommodate life-threatening allergies?

Yes. We are a nut/peanut-free program and take allergy safety very seriously.

For ballplayers with life-threatening allergies:

• Campers receive a discreet colored safety bracelet
• Coaches carry required medications (e.g., Epi-Pens, inhalers) on their person at all times
• Medication is checked in on Monday morning with our safety representative and returned on Friday at pick-up
