Townie Baseball Camp in 13th Year

The annual Townie Baseball Camp wrapped up its 13th summer (minus the covid year) at the EPHS athletic complex.  Kids from kindergarten through high school attended the week-long camp utilizing the turf fields at the high school. Campers were broken up into 5 groups according to age and grade. “The camp provides kids with an opportunity to improve upon skills, learn new techniques, meet new friends and have some fun,” said camp director and EPHS varsity baseball coach Bobby Rodericks.  “It’s especially a good warm up for players involved in all-star games and practices later in the day after camp ends,” added Rodericks.  The camp ran from 9am to 12:30 pm Monday through Friday.  Lunch was provided for those who wanted one, by the East Providence Recreation Department.  Camp instructors included current and past Townie players and college players.  Fees for the camp go to support high school and middle school baseball.
