SwampDogs and South River EMC Announce Kids Camps

Updated January 02 2018
FAYETTEVILLE, NC

The Fayetteville SwampDogs are excited to continue to partner with South River EMC to provide youth baseball clinics to the Fayetteville area. Now in its 11th year, this partnership has provided the perfect summer experience for young baseball and softball players. The SwampDogs Kids Camp is a great place to learn the skills of the game from the people that know them best.

Join the SwampDogs players and the coaching staff for a day filled with baseball and fun.  Campers must be between five and 13 years old.  Once again, the SwampDogs will hold three one-day camps at The Swamp: Wednesday, June 20, Wednesday, July 18 and Wednesday, August 1. The camp starts at 9 a.m. with registration and drop-off beginning at 8 a.m. and runs until 1 p.m.  In addition to the fun and excitement of working with the players and coaches, all campers will receive a free SwampDogs t-shirt, lunch and a ticket to that night’s SwampDogs game.

The camp begins with a chance for all the campers to get their arms and legs loose. After stretching, campers will go from station to station learning the skills of the game from their counselors (the SwampDogs players and coaches). 

“The ongoing partnership between the Fayetteville SwampDogs and South River EMC has proven to be one of mutual benefit and fun,” said Manager of Member and Public Affairs Catherine O’Dell, South River EMC. “Our members get the benefit of sending their children to a top notch sports camp while having loads of fun! This camp and the associated scholarships are one more way South River EMC demonstrates our commitment to the communities where we work and live.”

“We are pleased to once again be teaming with South River EMC for our 2018 instructional camps,” said SwampDogs general manager Jeremy Aagard.  “They truly share our philosophy of giving back to the children of our community and we are proud to be a partner with them. We have seen many campers grow every season and look forward to another summer of fun and instruction.”
