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.
