Why BC Baseball Camps when there are so many out there?
Cost and Quality. No price increase from last summer! Our coaching staff that directs one of the most successful college programs in the nation directs youth instruction with the same attentive detail as they do with the collegiate players. We encourage you to speak with ANYONE who has attended our camps in the past to verify this commitment. It is our attempt to offer the best combination of instruction and fun in a quality environment. Our facilities and location are ideal for the entire eastside community. Featuring one of the top outdoor natural grass fields in the state, the facility is second to none. Our offerings have benefited thousands of young ball players for the past twenty five years, as BC’s baseball camps have served the eastside community longer than any other organization. And finally, the cost. Bellevue College baseball camps are one of the most cost-efficient camps when compared to all other camps in the entire region – you are encouraged to compare. Most specialty FULL day camps, whether it be sports or technology-related, are well over $400-500. We challenge you to find a college level instructional full day camp for a lower cost than ours! BC Baseball Camps give an ideal combination of coaching quality and economic savings. Please take time to look through our offerings below and feel free to call if you have any questions.
Here are some feedback notes from previous campers/parents:
- “There seems to be more coaching/instruction here”
- “The coaches. The guys running it are the actual main coaches in the college program that are older and have the experience. Most of the others we’ve been to are run by the younger assistants, or all counselors with no real lead instructor.”
- “Amazing attention and sincere interest in my son. The coach actually e-mailed me back with more advice and guidance even after the camp was over. He really is there for us parents as a resource.”
- “The discounts. I don’t think any other camp outfit out there gives such a big chunk off a second camp. I thought it was a typo when I first read it.“
- “The field; it’s one of the nicest fields I’ve seen. Dropping my son off each morning and seeing the coaches getting the field ready just like they do in the pros; what a treat for them.”
- “They treat the kids well. The coaches are really good about giving equal coaching to all the kids.”
- “The location. Right off the freeway. One of the best camps on the eastside”
- “I like the stuff they give out. We just get a t-shirt at the other camps, or no shirt at all”
Discounts: Same as for 2024 with NO increase in cost from last summer!: For the July Skills Camps, half-price ($225 off!) for Skills Camp II when signing up for Skills Camp I. For All-Star / Select Team August camp, $150 off a second session.
July Skills Camp I
Hitting, fielding, baserunning, team defense concepts, and pitching will be covered. Our summer camps emphasize four things: fun, lots of instruction, lots of prizes, and a great facility. Players receive numerous baseball memorabilia goods and have opportunities to win items such as bats, gloves, and pro baseball prizes.
*This is a camp for ALL skill levels. Even advanced players will get individual coaching so they benefit on an individual skill level even though the camp is open to all skill levels. The head coach will ensure that advanced campers get an individual lesson on some aspect of their game. We had several campers who came to one July skills camp and one August select team camp due to holiday travel or some other conflict and benefited from both camps.
*Beginners and intermediates will not be put into advanced groups / will be in a safe learning atmosphere.

Common Q & A’s:
Q: How do the discounts work?
A: For the second consecutive year, there is no cost increase. The $225 (50% off) is only if you sign up for both July Skills Camps. If you sign up for both August All-Star Select Camps, you get $150 off. If you register for all four camps (both July, both August), you get $225 and $150 off, since you are registering for two camps in each month. In summary, if you do both July Skills and / or both August All-Star Select camps, you get the discount. If you do one July Skills Camp and one August All-Star Select Camp you get $150 off. This would have to be manually created by e-mailing us after registration since the system cannot automatically generate this discount. NOTE: if you don’t sign up for multiple camps at same time, the discount doesn’t kick in. You must then e-mail above to get refunded discount. Example: register for August All Star Camp I, then a week later, decide to sign up for August Camp II. You can still get the discount but need to e-mail to receive it since it won’t automatically appear on registration screen.
Q: What is the all-star / select team camp?
A: We are seeing a bigger spread in regards to experience level and coaching, and also are seeing a need to provide advanced coaching to a bigger audience each year, and have a large base of campers who return on an annual basis and are in need of being challenged and introduced to new things to develop their game. We also will continue to have our standard camps for an increased volume of players who need fundamental coaching as the numbers of baseball players continues to grow. Our goals are to: 1. to challenge and not bore our returning campers who are part of all-star/select teams 2. create a comfortable environment that doesn’t exclude players who don’t have all-star ability
Q: What if the player is a pitcher only or a catcher only for the Select Pitcher/Catcher Camp?
A:They will just stay with that position for the camp
Q: What if my player is equally both a pitcher and a catcher at the Select Pitcher/Catcher Camp?
A: We generally split the instruction 50/50. At times, we may offer the player the choice on the day what to work on, but that is not a guarantee as the number of players on both sides needs to stay in ratio to coach availability.
Q: Is the standard camp just for beginners?
A: No, the standard camps will be run the same as years past, and we feel the coaching base for our standard camps still go beyond basic fundamentals. We bring this up in case siblings, for example a younger lower-skilled player and an older brother who is experienced both come to the same camp. The older sibling will still be getting good instruction. We will not be ‘coaching them down.’ For example, we have many returning campers who get one-on-one instruction from the coaches at the July Skills Camps due to their advanced skill level.
Q: What if I have one player who is on a select team and another sibling who isn’t. Can’t I sign them up together for the all-star camp since it fits our vacation schedule?
A: No.
Q: Can we just come to one of the all-star camps?
A: Yes, but as you see above, the curriculum is split between the two camps, since there is so much to cover to push advanced players, we can only fit in certain components working on advanced topics per week. Ideally, the experienced player comes to both weeks for a discount to get the total package of knowledge.
Q: How are you going to verify if a player is on an all-star or select team to enroll in those camps?
A: We will be asking each person to send a weblink or picture of some sort of roster. If someone ‘slips through the cracks’ and registers for the select team camp when they clearly don’t meet the criteria and don’t turn in verification, we will not be issuing any refund for that camper. We are being firm on this policy because we know there will be someone out there who will attempt to register for the select camp solely because it ‘fits’ their busy summer schedule whether it be for another camp or vacation. Sadly, it might happen.
Q: What if my player has never made an all-star team but makes it for the first time this June?
A: If there are spots, they can come!
Q: What if my player played select or all-stars two years ago, but didn’t last year?
A: If you have verification, even if longer than a year ago, they can come.
Q: Will all-star/select team players be grouped together?
A: Ideally, yes, but not a guarantee due to positions and numbers (Example: if there are 15 from one team, odds are we cannot have all of them on one group. If there are seven or so from one team attending, then odds are good they will all be together. That is part of why we are offering these new sessions. It is our intent to create sort of a ‘tournament’ atmosphere where we have a team of one select team working together at camp and competing against another. In the years past, due to variations in skill levels by not having a dedicated camp for advanced players, we commonly had to break up all-star groups to make the teams even. Ideally, with this new format, we don’t have to, making it a more enjoyable and challenging experience for all!
