You don’t have to be a baseball enthusiast to attend Summer Trails (which offers both traditional camp and co-ed baseball camp), but if you’re a kid who loves baseball, it’s hard to imagine why you’d go anywhere else. Summer Trails boasts 20 acres of secluded property with two heated pools, a lake, nature trails, ball fields, and creative-arts facilities.
Since Summer Trails opened in 1974, baseball campers have been taught the national pastime through instruction, game play and meeting the pros. On the traditional camp side, campers are exposed to more than 60 activities in group sports, creative arts, and swimming. Plus, this summer the camp is unveiling an upgraded nine-hole miniature golf course and boulder-climbing wall.
