Fun At Baltimore Baseball Camp

By Lana Bray


Summer is upon us again almost, and it is time to enjoy those summer pleasures of a campsite visit. Many will remember their camping experiences, and the joy they felt when they knew the camp visit was coming up. The baltimore baseball camp is just one of a number of sports camps available to children in this area. These camps teach a great deal more than just the skills of the one game.

Many other different types of camps offer the teaching of skills. Your children might enjoy camping that is centered on a specific sport like hockey or basketball. It is a fun way to learn your sports skills, and the benefits include the learning of life skills while having fun. Or they may like to participate in a residence camp where they learn skills under the guise of having fun.

Many camps offer an away from home experience for children. Often this will be the first time that the child has stayed away from home and it can be a frightening experience for the first few days. Most camps keep the kids so busy that they soon forget their fears and join in all the fun experiences. Skills like swimming, canoeing, or water skiing are often offered in these residence camps. These are all great things that are lots of fun.

Summer-camp allows children to mix with other children from all lifestyles. This includes children from the inner city and from the suburbs, rich and poor, and many other combinations. Over the time they are at campsites, they quickly learn what like skills they have, and they will learn new life skills in addition to the specific sporting skills.

We have a wonderful riding venue near us, which teaches disabled children to ride horses. It is such a pleasure to see the joy of the children when they are first introduced to the animals. Riding a horse can lighten a disabled child and show them how they can get around even without their wheelchairs. All parties gain from these experiences, not least the adults working with the children.

Learning new skills and playing the sports they love are great fun for children. What they do not realize is that they are also learning about so many other things. One skill that we wish every camping place taught was swimming. It is so necessary to have this skill at least to a minimal degree in our country as we have so many lakes and rivers.

Team play is another skill, which the camps teach. Wanting your team to win, and playing in a team atmosphere helps many children to lose some of that selfishness with which we are all born. This is just one of those life skills that people at camp without even realizing it.

There is a vast range of different camps to choose from when selecting a place for your children to go this summer. The one we selected was a baltimore baseball camp, but you could also choose some other sport camping. Moreover, you could send your children to a resident camp where they could learn about outdoor activities and get together at night to sing around the campfire.
