Mike Trout to Host South Jersey Camp
Trout will host a youth baseball camp in Pitman, New Jersey, on Oct. 11. The event runs from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Total Turf Experience, 614 Lambs Road.
The venue sits not far from Trout’s hometown of Millville.
FlexWork Sports Management is organizing the camp alongside Trout.
Registration is open to campers ages 6 to 13. Every camper gets a limited-edition Mike Trout FlexWork Baseball Camp T-shirt.
Families also receive a free digital team photo with Trout after the event. Campers may take home extra items from event sponsors, when available.
This will be Trout’s second FlexWork Sports camp this year. He hosted a similar event at Irvine High School in California on June 25.
That camp offered two sessions, and the morning slot sold out. Organizers added an afternoon session to meet demand.
FlexWork Sports runs youth camps nationwide in baseball, basketball, football and other sports.
Proceeds go to the FlexWork Sports Scholarship Fund. It helps disabled and disadvantaged youth attend the camps.
