Kenny Lake Baseball Camp a Hit

Our Kenny Lake Baseball Camp for kids aged 6+ was June 3-7 this year. It is starting to look like an annual tradition. Once again this year, we had the privilege to have former high school baseball coaches Reed Carlson and Doug Vollman and members of the Carlson family as assistants. Their knowledge of the game, teaching skills, love of sharing and strong moral values makes this event truly unique and a lasting experience for all involved.

With over 25 participants throughout the week, our camp was a great success, with lots of new skills learned and an appetite for more practice! We are aiming to have bi-monthly games with local families throughout the summer. Stay tuned for dates!

Families would like to thank for their time and dedication: our coaches and assistants Sam Carlson, Isaiah Carlson, Hannah Steck and Paul Caldentey. Thank you to Kenny Lake school for use of the field and baseball gear.
