Welcome Players!
We are pleased that you have chosen to spend a week at an America's Baseball Camps Experience this year. We have instructed over 50,000 players within the past 13 years and continue to expand services and locations at a rapid pace. Currently, ABC has conducted camps at over 500 locations in 29 states and 3 countries. America's Baseball Camps has become the leader in baseball camps throughout the world.
At ABC we believe in the development of a baseball player's skills involved with the five tools of baseball while demonstrating proper fundamentals, a respect and love for the game, and a good work ethic. This focus will be achieved through hard work; skills taught and learned, a commitment to success, and making the right decisions on and off the field. In addition to the instruction and fun that you will be having on the field, we provide exciting educational lessons and activities off of the field including guest speakers from the collegiate and professional coaching ranks.
We are confident that this will be an exciting, educational and memorable experience for you and we look forward to seeing you at camp.

We will check you in and register you at the dorms immediately following the hitting camp. If you have not signed up for the hitting camp and would like to, shoot us an email or give us a call.
Please note that if you have paid only your deposit, your credit card will be charged automatically 4-6 weeks prior to camp. Please contact us if you would like to make different arrangements for final payment.
