The
National Post features the
North Toronto Baseball Camp
(NTBC) as part of the paper's ongoing "Young Entrepreneur Spotlight"
series. Launched in 2007 by five friends--Alex Day (23), Jeremy Weisz
(23), Simon Weisz (20), Gabe Diamond (23), and Lee Berger (23)--NTBC
offers summer baseball camps, coach's clinics, and private and group
lessons for Toronto youth.
"The Main Camp program started in 2007 at Memorial Park, located in the
heart of mid-town Toronto. This program was developed as a specialty
baseball day camp which caters to all ages and skill levels. After a
successful inaugural summer, the camp expanded to include a second
summer program at another location � Elite Camp located at Sentinel
Park, near Keele & Sheppard. Elite Camp was developed for more
competitive baseball players looking for advanced skill development."
"Enrollment has grown steadily from 140 campers in 2007 to over 400 in
2010. Furthermore, the number of staff has increased from 9 to 25,
together with the establishment of a Counselor-in-Training (CIT)
program. Our CIT program allows older campers to slowly transition into
staff members, and learn the necessary leadership skills to be
successful."
