Camp is half instruction and half games. Games will be played both morning and afternoon.

Players registering need their own softball glove.

Rain, extreme summer heat, and camper fatigue can all lead to a video being shown at any time in our camps. Sample videos used include: Sandlot, The Big Green, Kicking and Screaming. Like Mike, A Kid In King Arthur's Court, Rebound, etc.
