FAQ’s:
What to Bring: A glove, fielder’s facemask, and bat is all you need, but feel free to bring any equipment you’d like (label all items!).

Lunch: Pack a lunch daily for Week 1 camp sessions
Snacks/Drinks: Pack daily snacks & a drink. Water will be provided, but bring a water bottle for refills
Sunscreen: Make sure your camper puts this on before camp and brings extra to reapply

Breaks: Water breaks will be taken throughout the day, as well as 30-45 minutes for lunch.
Communication: Please check your email regularly as this is our primary way we communicate. Any additional information that we need to convey will be passed on to you via the email address you supply at registration so include all necessary family emails. This will eliminate any confusion and/or miscommunication.
