Great Lakes Loons News Release


The Michigan Baseball Foundation (MBF) is pleased to announce the all new Loons Summer Baseball Camps for the 2011 season. Hosted at Dow Diamond, the two-day camps will pair participants with professional players and coaches from the Great Lakes Loons in a strong baseball-learning environment.

Campers will learn various aspects of hitting, throwing, fielding and pitching from professional baseball players and the manager of the Great Lakes Loons, John Shoemaker. The drills taught will be the same ones utilized by the coaches and player personnel of the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Great Lakes Loons.

Loons Summer Baseball Camp Dates:

June 27 & 28 (ages 13-16) * July 20 & 21 (ages 7-12) * July 27 & 28 (ages 7-12)

Camp instruction will run from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. each day with lunch included for both days. Campers will also receive a camp t-shirt and two tickets to a Loons game that will take place following the second day of instruction. All campers will be invited on the field during the game for a special pre-game recognition.

Each two-day Loons Summer Baseball Camp is $150 per person with all proceeds benefiting the Michigan Baseball Foundation. A portion of the entry fee is tax deductible.

All interested parties should reserve their spot now as space is very limited. To secure a spot or for more information, contact Patti Tuma at 989-837-6165 or ptuma@loons.com or visit Loons.com.

Through your support at Loons games, the Michigan Baseball Foundation has been able to award $182,850 to youth baseball leagues, schools and athletic clubs. An additional $117,740 has been awarded to other worthy non-profit organizations throughout the Great Lakes Bay Region. To continue its economic and charitable impact and to meet its obligations as a public charity, MBF must raise annual funds from public support.

The Michigan Baseball Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit corporation and public charity, which was formed in 2006 to generate regional economic development through creative partnerships and grants and to enhance the efforts of regional organizations that serve young people. The Michigan Baseball Foundation owns and operates Dow Diamond, home of the Great Lakes Loons, the fifth-year Single-A partner of the Los Angeles Dodgers.
