CHARLESTON, SC - The Charleston RiverDogs will hold two youth baseball camps at Joseph P. Riley, Jr. Park. Session I runs from June 13-15, while Session II operates from July 6-8 with a special hitting clinic held on July 22.

Each session is 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. daily, and is for all children 6-13. The cost is $150 per camp and includes a RiverDogs goodie bag with water bottle, a camp T-shirt and a ticket to the RiverDogs' game for each evening.

"Spending the day with future New York Yankees will create memories and friendships these campers will never forget," said Melissa Azevedo, the RiverDogs' Director of Special Events.

Participants are divided into separate age groups and have the opportunity to learn and hone their skills in hitting, fielding, pitching, base running, bunting and agility.

Among the instructors are RiverDogs Manager Aaron Ledesma and Hitting Coach Greg Colbrunn, both of whom played in the Major Leagues before entering the coaching ranks. Ledesma was a second round pick of the Mets in 1990, and spent parts of five seasons in the Majors, while Colbrunn racked up a .289 batting average and 98 home runs over a 13-year career.

In addition to receiving evaluations and progress from the RiverDogs' players and coaches, campers can get autographs during designated times and will also take home a photo with a RiverDogs player. At the conclusion of each session, there will be an awards ceremony on the field prior to the first pitch of that night's RiverDogs game.
