Brewers' Summer Camp Fuels Local Talent
The Milwaukee Brewers baseball academy recently concluded a three‑day summer camp at Lakeland Union High School in Minocqua, Wisconsin, where professional staff provided instruction to local ballplayers ranging from elementary school to high school age.
Field Director Greg Fetherston said the event has expanded from a two‑day format to a full three‑day curriculum this year, reflecting surging demand among families eager to sharpen their skills before the season.
The camp wrapped up with a scrimmage that let participants demonstrate the techniques they had honed, from pitching mechanics to defensive footwork, in front of coaches and parents.
Lainey Frisch, a catcher for the Lakeland Union softball team, served as a camp leader, guiding younger players through drills and emphasizing the long‑term benefits of early skill development.
Field Director Steve Bartlien reiterated that keeping children engaged in baseball remains a priority, noting that the sport’s traditions continue to inspire new generations while fostering competitive high school play.
