The Winnipeg Sea Bears of the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) have announced that they will partner with Brandon University to host the next iteration of their Summer Series of youth basketball camps. Sea Bears players and coaches will head to Brandon on Sunday, May 26 to coach youth at the Jumpstart Multi Sport Court. The free camp is open to kids from ages nine to 14 and will run from 1 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. Registration is now open at seabears.ca.
Since the inception of the Sea Bears Summer Series in 2023, the one-day camps have served over 300 Winnipeg youth. The Brandon camp will be the sixth in the Summer Series and will mark the team’s first offering outside of Winnipeg. Sea Bears players and coaches will work with Brandon Bobcats women’s head coach Jaime Taggart to run the programming.
The Sea Bears community engagement team will be on site to bring fun for the whole family with giveaways and activities like cornhole, pop-a-shot and more. Sea Bears merchandise will be available for purchase at the event.
The Sea Bears have also partnered with Alt Hotel Winnipeg to give away a “Hoop Dreams” prize package at the camp. Valued at $380, the package includes a full overnight experience for a pair of visiting Sea Bears fans: two tickets to the team’s June 16 home game against Edmonton, overnight accommodations at Alt Hotel, a game-day parking spot, two t-shirts and a $100 Winnipeg Downtown Biz gift card. All attendees, registered in the camp or not, will be able to enter the draw.
Those registered to participate in the camp are asked to bring their own outdoor basketball, if possible. In the event of rain, the camp will be moved to Healthy Living Centre at 2010 Louise Ave.
For registration, visit Winnipeg Sea Bears Basketball – Canadian Elite Basketball League Spots are limited and will be filled on a first come, first served basis.
