Great Lakes Loons News Release
The Michigan Baseball Foundation (MBF) is pleased to announce the dates for this season's Loons Summer Baseball Camps. Hosted at Dow Diamond, the two-day camps will pair participants with professional players and coaches from the Great Lakes Loons in a strong baseball-learning environment.
Campers will learn various aspects of hitting, throwing, fielding and pitching while being instructed in the characteristics that define successful baseball players. The drills taught will be the same ones utilized by the coaches and player personnel of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Great Lakes Loons. Loons Summer Baseball Camp Dates: June 13 & 14 (ages 7-12) * July 25 & 26 (ages 7-12)
Camp instruction will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day with lunch included for both days. Campers will also receive a camp t-shirt and two tickets to a Loons game that will take place following the second day of instruction. All campers will be invited on the field during the game for special pre-game recognition.
Each two-day Loons Summer Baseball Camp is $95 per person with all proceeds benefiting the Michigan Baseball Foundation. A portion of the entry fee is tax deductible.
All interested parties should reserve their spot now as space is very limited. To secure a spot or for more information, contact Patti Tuma at 989-837-6165 or ptuma@loons.com or visit Loons.com.
