A summer camp like no other

Hello neighbors,

I trust you’re doing well.  I started Snappy Salads 14 years ago and now, I’m starting a new venture that I think you’ll be interested in.

After years of observing youth ballplayers wandering off in thought during games, I asked my kids why they enjoyed playing video games more than baseball and softball. “Because the game never slows down,” my daughter so eloquently revealed one day.

She’s right, the game on the field can be slow and boring and, as a result, not much fun.

That sprang my creative mind into action.  After research, beta tests, and lots of conversations with kids and parents, I’m excited to announce an action-packed, development-rich event for youth baseball and softball players called

Runner Gunner Slugger Derby 5-Day Summer Camp for youth baseball and softball players.

This camp runs August 3-7, 2020 for baseball players and August 10-14 for softball players.  It’s for all skill levels, ages 9-14.

Each day is three action-packed hours of fun designed for kids.  Sure, they’ll develop the skills needed to become an All-Star ballplayer, but they’ll be having so much fun, they probably won’t even realize it. Kids will love it because they’ll meet new friends, play baseball/softball, and be around fun and helpful instructors. 

The bulk of the camper’s time will be spent playing a game called the “Five-Pitch Challenge” (5PC) which can loosely be described as a hitting extravaganza and fielding merry-go-'round that keeps the player’s attention. I promise, no one will be heard yelling, “baseball ready!”  It’s almost like they’re playing in a video game.

When Campers aren’t playing 5PC, they get to make diving catches onto a gymnastics pad, slide into home head-first using a sliding mat (don’t worry, it’s very safe), play Pickle to their hearts’ content, as well as develop their hitting, fielding, and bunting skills.

This is non-stop action. This is fun. This is for the kids.

I guarantee that your player will say, "Camp was so much fun! I want to go again."

Sign up your player today. The 9-11 age group starts at 8:30 a.m. while the 11-14 group begins at 6:30 p.m. $249 per player and is limited to 40 players per session.

Thank you for supporting my family and me in this new adventure. Please reach out if you have any questions.
