NEWPORT, R.I. – The Newport Gulls are excited to announce the dates of their 2019 Youth Summer Baseball Camps. Camp has become a favorite summer activity, spanning five weeks June-July. These camps are a wonderful opportunity for boys and girls age 6-12 to learn from and interact with the Major League Stars of Tomorrow during their time in Newport; an experience of a lifetime! Gulls Youth Summer Baseball Camps are held in Portsmouth, Middletown, and Newport and welcome enthusiastic boys and girls of all skill levels. In addition to Gulls players, the Newport Gulls professional coaching staff leads and instructs camp.
2019’s Camp Schedule is as follows:
Week 1- June 24-27- Portsmouth Little League Field

Week 3- July 8-11 - Newport 5th Ward Little League Field- Mark Weed Memorial Camp

Newport’s third week of camp is dedicated to Mark Weed, the late husband of former Rhode Island Senate President Teresa Paiva Weed for the benefit of deserving boys and girls from Newport.
