Youth Summer Camps
Every summer, Newport Gulls Baseball conducts several Youth Summer Camps at locations around Aquidneck Island. These camps are designed for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 12. Our summer camps have become very popular, averaging almost 100 participants per session. Many of our campers come from out-of-state for the opportunity to attend a Gulls camp.
The camps are run by the Newport Gulls coaching staff and players, and are designed to teach the fundamentals of baseball specific to the age group and/or skill level involved. After hours of skillspecific drills and instruction, camp participants take part in contests and live game play to show off their skills, with a chance to win awards for different competitions.

Our 11th Annual Mark Weed Memorial Camp will be held at Newport’s Wellington Field in Mark’s honor from July 5-8. The camp was named in honor of Mark, who was an avid supporter of youth athletics on Aquidneck Island. At his request, a foundation was set up to send children from the Island to our summer camps free of charge. All participants of the Mark Weed Memorial Camp will attend the Gulls game scheduled in his honor on Friday, July 16 for a pregame ceremony in his memory.
The cost of Camp is $90, which includes instruction, a Gulls T-shirt, and Gulls game tickets. Camp takes place four days per week, Monday through Thursday, from 9 a.m. to Noon. Registration forms can be found on our website, www.newportgulls.com.
