Camps range from three to five days in length, generally running five hours per day, and all aspects of the game are covered. Students are divided according to appropriate age group or skill level in order to get the most out of the camp. The camp environment is fun for all ages, and most importantly, highly instructional. At MMB, we avoid the ‘day care’ model and focus on advanced and thorough instruction. Students have a great time and walk away with a stronger foundation, and the knowledge, skill level and respect for the game of baseball or softball.

All camps and special events will be posted via calendar on this page and will be updated accordingly. Please check often as Events may be subject to change in a moments notice. For any question please call our facility at (925)798.4487

Choosing the right summer program for your child is a difficult and important decision. At uCamps we strive to make families feel comfortable and excited about their decision. The major goals of our programs are to bring fun, joy, self-confidence, acceptance, love, friendship, and community to all our campers. Participants are given the opportunity to discover their inner strengths, realize new talents, expand their imagination, and develop trust, acceptance, teamwork, and a high level of self-esteem.

Our dedicated staff is hand selected to work with your child. Staff is hired based on strength of character, past experience, ability to connect with and inspire children, a desire to share, and the ability to lead and serve as a positive role model. Our staff also includes instructional specialists who are hired to lead specific skill-based workshops. Workshop leaders are not only hired for their experience and ability to teach, but also for their nurturing, fun, and caring natures.

L.I.T Program: The Leadership in Training (LIT) Program is a dynamic leadership training for students interested in bettering themselves and the world around them. This two week training program is at once educational, transformative, hard work and tons of fun!!! Instead of participating in regular workshops with the campers, as a selected group of leaders, they attend workshops designed to improve communication, conflict resolution, team building, time management, public speaking and other skills necessary to be successful in college and in the workplace. Participants leave having learned a lot while making new friends and lifelong memories. Graduation from the program is NOT a guarantee for job placement with uCamps, but it is a prerequisite for students interested in working for uCamps in the future. In the second week of the program, L.I.T.s work directly with the campers; leading games and activities, working in the cabin and serving as positive role models.
