The San Francisco Giants Baseball Camp is rounding the corner on its debut season -- its ultimate weeklong session is set to take place at Walnut Creek’s Heather Farms on August 18 -- and there are still 20 openings.
The camp, thus far, has taught more than 1,000 children, aged 5 to 14, the value of teamwork, charity, and industry by pairing technically exceptional instruction with character development campaigns and, of course, the Major League Giants.
Each camp day begins at 9 a.m., ends at 3 p.m., and entails delicately coordinated drills for skill building coached in intimate groups of children.

Along with being taught baseball skills, campers are exposed to daily themes and challenges such as “Gratitude Day,” during which campers are inspired to reflect and give thanks.
A highlight is a trip to AT&T Park.
