On June 5th, boys and girls from across the country came to Maryland for the first Cal Ripken, Sr. Foundation Summer Camp of the year. Kids learn about life through baseball and also participate in team building exercises and other fun activities, like a ropes course and swimming. On Monday, June 7th, after the typical morning drills, the kids were surprised with helicopter landing, followed by guest speakers—including Bill Ripken—and demonstrations from our partner, the U.S. Marshals Service. Through the Badges for Baseball program, Deputy Marshals and local law enforcement are trained as coaches and mentors. They volunteer at camp as well as in their communities.
More boys and girls joined us in July for another session of Summer Camp, and now we are getting ready to welcome another group of kids for our final camp session of the season, starting August 23rd, before they go back to school. (Yes, it is that time of year--can you believe it? Time flies when you're having fun!)
Thank you so very much for your generous support and for giving a wonderful experience to our kids!
