Camp Testimonials
“Fantasy Camp is where I go every year to be with the best group of guys on the planet to play the greatest game on earth.” – Joe Chambliss
“As a veteran of 18 camps, I can tell you there is nothing like the Fantasy Camp experience for a baseball fan. When you walk in the door to your first camp, you are in awe of your coaches and feel like a kid in a candy store. Then, after a week of playing ball, sharing stories, hanging out in the clubhouse after games … you have bonded as a team. The friendships I have made through camp, both with campers and coaches, will last a lifetime!” – Scott Marks
“Fantasy Camp is THE ‘playcation’ for everyone who either grew up playing baseball or just loved watching the sport.
That moment you first walk into the clubhouse and see an authentic jersey with your name on the back stays with you forever. Then, by the time camp wraps, you’ve made friends for life – both with your fellow campers and the former pros!
Fantasy Camp is the perfect blend of social and physical activity. From the stories you hear in the clubhouse to the memories you make on the field, it will be everything you hoped for and much, much more.” – Kevin Cashman
“Fantasy Camp is where I’ve met my best friends. Playing ball together and dealing with the aches and pains drew us closer together. The incredible amounts of laughter we’ve share has made us a family. You really, really don’t want to miss out on this!” – Bob Farinelli, veteran of 24 camps
