Hey there, baseball fans and turkey enthusiasts! Are you ready to swap your drumsticks for baseball bats this Thanksgiving? Well, grab your gloves and get ready to gobble up some serious baseball action at the 2024 Thanksgiving Camp hosted by Golden Spikes Baseball. This camp is so popular that it might just give your grandma’s pumpkin pie a run for its money here at Loomis, California!
The Pitch
Picture this: While most folks are busy stuffing turkeys, you could be stuffing your brain with awesome baseball knowledge. The Golden Spikes Baseball Thanksgiving Camp is back and better than ever, promising three days of pure baseball bliss. It’s the perfect recipe for a holiday with equal parts thanks and spanks (of the baseball).
Field of Dreams
Now, you might wonder, “Where’s this baseball bonanza happening?” Put away your compass and GPS because we’ve got the scoop. The camp will be held at the GS Facility at 3344 Swetzer Ct., Loomis, CA 95650. For those who aren’t in the know, Loomis is a charming little town in Placer County, just a stone’s throw (or, should we say, a baseball throw) from Sacramento.
Timing Is Everything
Mark your calendars, folks! This baseball extravaganza runs from Monday, November 25th to Wednesday, November 27th, 2024. Young sluggers will be swinging bats and catching flies from 9 AM to 12 PM each day. That’s right, you’ll still have plenty of time to make it home for that turkey dinner. Talk about having your cake (or pie) and eating it too!
Who Can Join the Fun?
Got a kid between 6 and 13 years old who’d rather hit homers than watch parades? Then this camp is right up their alley! All skill levels are welcome, whether they’re the next Babe Ruth or just starting out. After all, everyone’s gotta start somewhere, right?
The Price Tag
Now, let’s talk turkey about the cost. You can snag a sweet deal if you’re an early bird (pun totally intended). Sign up before November 1st, and you’ll only shell out $200. That’s a 20% discount, folks! But if you’re more of a procrastinator, don’t worry. You can still join the fun after November 1st for $250. Either way, paying for three days of baseball heaven is a small price.
How to Get in on the Action
Ready to sign up? Great! You’ve got options. You can register online at www.goldenspikesbaseball.net, or if you’re feeling tech-savvy, you can Venmo your payment to @Golden-Spikes_01. Remember to include your child’s name, contact info, and shirt size in the comments. After all, we wouldn’t want little Johnny ending up in a shirt big enough to use as a parachute!
What to Expect
While we can’t promise your kid will come home as the next MLB superstar, we can guarantee three days packed with baseball fun. They’ll be swinging, catching, throwing, and maybe even sliding (into bases, not gravy boats). It’s a chance for them to improve their skills, make new friends, and burn off some energy before the big feast.
A Word to the Wise
Now, here’s a little insider tip for you. This camp is more popular than turkey on Thanksgiving Day. It fills up faster than you can say, “Play ball!” So, don’t wait too long if you’re thinking about it. You don’t want to strike out before getting to the plate!
The Cherry on Top
Oh, and did we mention that this fantastic event is included in our Thanksgiving Guide 2024? It’s like finding an extra slice of pie when you thought they were all gone!
Wrap-Up
So there you have it, folks. The 2024 Thanksgiving Camp at GS Facility is your ticket to a holiday season that’s a real grand slam. It’s the perfect way to keep the kids active, engaged, and out of the kitchen while you’re trying to wrangle that turkey. Plus, it’s a great excuse to work up an appetite for the big meal.
Remember, in baseball and in life, it’s not whether you win or lose. It’s how you play the game. And at this camp, your kids will be playing it with style, skill, and a whole lot of fun. So, step up to the plate and give your kids a Thanksgiving they’ll never forget. After all, who says you can’t mix baseball with cranberry sauce?
