A charity group in Winkler is getting set to help send kids to camp all over the developing world.

Children's Camps International has been sending kids to camp for years, growing to about 170,000 kids last year and they are once again hosting the annual Big Hit Tournament in Winkler.

Event coordinator, Steve Zacharias, says the tournament is a fun, positive tournament where every homerun helps send kids to camp.

The Big Hit Tournament runs from August 15-17 and teams are welcome to join up with the registration deadline on Friday, August 8.

All are welcome to come watch the tournament and support the players.

Last year, 6,000 kids attended camp because of the slow pitch tournament.
