MONMOUTH, Ore. - The Western Oregon University baseball program will host six camps between October and January to assist local youth and high school baseball players in their preparation for the upcoming season.

Each camp will focus on the development of specific baseball skills and techniques. The camps will be held at the Physical Education Building and on the WOU baseball field, which now features field turf. The camps are open to anyone 8-18 years of age.

The Wolves will offer one-day infield skills and drills camps on Sunday, Nov. 7 and Sunday, Nov. 28. Both camps will run from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. The cost for each of these camps is $80 per camper.
