Summer 2026 · Oliver, BC
Five sessions built around age and competitive level. Every session is a full residential week — training, game play, and life in the Okanagan with coaches who've played at the highest level.
Two age divisions running side by side. Banditos (born 2013–2015) focuses on foundation — catching, throwing, and hitting on a 60' diamond. Young Guns (born 2011–2013) moves to the 70' field with positional work and structured game play. Both groups get full residential camp experience with age-appropriate coaching.
For athletes transitioning to the 80/54 diamond. Young Guns Elite is for strong 13U players pushing into 15U competition. Futures camps (two sessions available) are designed for athletes who've played on the full-size field and are ready for focused positional development, live at-bats, and serious competitive game play.
For graduating 15U players and first-year midget athletes. Full-diamond instruction, advanced positional coaching, and competitive game situations designed to prepare athletes for the next level of rep ball. Coaching staff includes former professional players who understand what scouts and college coaches look for.
BLE's highest-level camp. Designed for strong midget players and older athletes preparing for college, PBL, or professional scouting exposure. Pre-approval required for 2008-born athletes. Advanced instruction, game situations that simulate real scouting environments, and direct access to coaches with professional and international experience.

Common Questions
Call or email us — this is the most common question we get, and we'd rather talk it through than guess. Our goal is to get your athlete in the group where they'll be challenged appropriately and have the best experience. Contact us at (604) 531-9916 or [email protected].
Fully residential. Athletes live on-site in Oliver, BC for the duration of their camp week. Meals, accommodations, and supervision are all included. Our Head Counsellor oversees camp operations and athlete welfare around the clock.
Full baseball equipment (glove, bat, cleats, helmet), athletic clothing for a week of training, casual clothes for evenings, swimwear, sunscreen, and a water bottle. We publish a detailed packing list closer to camp dates.
We maintain small group ratios so athletes get meaningful individual instruction. Exact ratios vary by session, but every camp features former professional players and national-level coaches working directly with athletes — not watching from the sideline.
Every camper goes through a standardized performance assessment covering physical baselines and sport-specific metrics. You'll receive a take-home report with your athlete's results. Return the following year and we'll show you the growth. For athletes who want deeper analysis — including visual tracking, reaction training, and neurocognitive profiling — a premium assessment upgrade is available.
Oliver is in the South Okanagan, roughly 4 hours from Vancouver and 1.5 hours south of Kelowna. Most families drive; the closest airport is Penticton (YYF) or Kelowna (YLW). We provide detailed maps and directions after registration.
Call Marty. Seriously. We'd rather talk through your athlete's situation for five minutes than have them end up in the wrong group. That's how BLE has operated for 28 years.
