CAMP OBJECTIVE

The purpose of camp is to help every individual a better baseball player.  We will successfully accomplish this by building on their strengths, as well as recognizing and improving areas of weakness.  Instructor to camper ratio will be no higher than 1:6 to ensure that all campers get ample individualized instruction.

Campers will be put through a series of stations which will emphasize mechanics and techniques needed at all levels of baseball.

COST

5 to 7 year olds: $40 per player

8 to 12 year olds: $60 per player

We are meeting in Hitchcock Arena in the Sollenberger Sports Center. When you arrive on campus through the main entrance, Sollenberger Sports Center is the first building on your right. You must park around the back end of the building due to construction on campus.
