Marymount. Moe Geoghegan of Scorpion baseball is the camp organizer.
The regular camp schedule begins with campers stretching, running, and
throwing. After they are divided into groups of eight, campers will go to
various stations to work on hitting, defense, and pitching, with new
drills being implemented every week.

Tuesday camp days ending in group discussions. Topics will include the
