A first‑of‑its‑kind camp in Bend
The Boys & Girls Clubs of Bend will host its inaugural Baseball Skills Camp from June 22 through June 26 at Juniper Park, creating a dedicated space for young athletes to develop fundamental baseball abilities.
Former San Francisco Giants pitcher Dave McKae will serve as the camp’s lead instructor, bringing professional insight and mentorship to participants of all skill levels.
Local partners Doug Davis and the Bend South Little League have pledged to supply all necessary equipment, ensuring that cost is not a barrier for families.
Participation carries a $125 fee for the week‑long session, though scholarships are available to guarantee access for youth who might otherwise be excluded from such programs.
Current members can register when they receive their welcome packets, while non‑members are invited to apply for membership through the club’s online portal at bgcbend.org/myclubhub.
Beyond the baseball camp, BGCB is rolling out a 12‑week summer lineup that allows families to tailor their experience with weekly thematic programming, reinforcing the organization’s commitment to flexible, community‑focused summer activities.
