Rookie League
Giving kids a sporting chance
For more than 30 years, the Rookie League summer baseball day-camp program, delivered in partnership with Jays Care Foundation, has been a space for personal development, where children ages 6 to 12 learn about teamwork and fair play both on and off the field. 2021 was no different.
Once again, our Rookie League program offered both in-person and virtual camp options in 2021. More than 700 participants from over 60 TCHC communities enjoyed exercises, free meals, arts and crafts, and interactive games and challenges, with prizes that included tickets to a Toronto Blue Jays game. Featuring 26 virtual cohorts, there were 107 facilitators that helped run the program that was a huge success.
In 2021, we continued to offer the virtual Leaders in Training (LIT) camp for youth tenants ages 13 to 15. The LIT camp focuses on enhancing leadership skills and personal development.
Program staff and facilitators also took part in activities and workshops that empowered them with the skills, resources and networking opportunities to chart their future career paths.
A new highlight was “Family Night at Home.” The three-week, at-home activity series, offered late in the season by Jays Care Foundation in partnership with local restaurants across TCHC communities, provided registered families with weekly dinners and fun activity packages that included movie night, paint night and karaoke kits.
Here are some highlights from the year.
- 60+ communities
- 709 participants
- 6 weeks of programming
- 107 facilitators
- 27 virtual cohorts
