Host families are an integral part of any summer collegiate baseball team and are the lifeblood of the team’s success.  The NorthPaws roster is comprised of college athletes from across North America, who will call Kamloops home for two and a half months in the summer.  As a host family, you are providing a ‘home away from home’ for your players during the NorthPaws season.  In return, you will gain a memorable summer experience and most likely, a long-lasting friendship. Host families often refer to their players as an adopted member of their family, as you form a bond that will last far beyond the end of the season.
