The Hamptons Baseball Camp Team
Hamptons Baseball Camp features a staff of experienced and educated coaches.
We are proud to be entering our 20th SEASON in Water Mill!
As such, we are fortunate to have many returning campers, some of whom are now our coaches, and all of whom are tuned in to our ethos and doctrine, which greatly helps our team building process.
As coaches and parents, we are in this together and we stress that the lines of communication are always open. We also encourage parents to be present as fans. When players, coaches and parents work together players get better, plays become more thrilling and baseball reveals its true essence as a tremendous spectator sport.
We thank you for being a part of our camp community and look forward to another fruitful season!
Our staff include players from the Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League. The Hamptons Collegiate Baseball League is a preeminent amateur baseball league featuring top national and international amateur players. Please consider housing a HCBL player.
Junior Counselorships: All fourteen year olds are enrolled as campers until they demonstrate an aptitude for leading and working with younger teammates, at which point they’re offered an unpaid junior counselorship with consideration for employment upon turning 15.
