Dates for Brewers Baseball Academy presented by Kwik Trip announced
The Milwaukee Brewers today announced dates and details for this summer's Brewers Baseball Academy presented by Kwik Trip. The Academy, now in its sixth season, is open to kids (ages 6-14) and includes 15 separate weeklong baseball/softball camps that will be held in various cities across Wisconsin this summer. A complete schedule of camp locations and dates is listed below.
The camps will be conducted under the supervision of Tim Rappé, executive director of the Brewers Baseball Academy. Last summer, over 1,200 participants took part in the camps.
"There is something tremendously satisfying when we see just how much kids improve from Monday to Friday," said Rappé. "The training, new friendships and the unforgettable Brewers experience are what make the Academy so special."
Each camp runs Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m. with instruction provided by experienced coaches. During one of the five camp days, attendees are transported by bus to Miller Park for a one-of-a-kind experience as they are treated to a guest appearance from a current Brewers player. They will also receive a behind-the-scenes tour from a Brewers coach and have their photos taken.
All kids will take part in baseball or softball skills competitions. Upon completion of the last camp, the top scorers will be invited to the Champions Day Finals at Miller Park. Boys and girls will compete separately in appropriate age groups.
The fee for the weeklong camp is $395 per child, which includes 30 hours of exceptional instruction, a complete MLB-quality Brewers uniform, four Brewers game tickets to one of three select games, and a V.I.P. day at Miller Park.
Registration is currently available at Brewers.com/camps. Registrations received prior to March 1 will receive a $25 discount. This discount may not be combined with any other discount. If registering two or more children, each child will receive a $25 discount when booked together. A limited number of spots are available for each camp location.
As the presenting sponsor of the Brewers Baseball Academy, Kwik Trip will award 240 random participants with $25 gift cards to their locations. One lucky camper from each host city will also receive a personalized camp jersey, along with a special presentation during the camp graduation ceremony.
