Thank you all for bearing with us to make today another great day! We didn’t let the rain stand in the way of getting better, check our these campers in action!

ATTENTION: Due to the impending weather, we will be adjusting the location of camp. We will now host camp at the Lou Higgins recreation center. It is located directly across the street from George Finnie Stadium. The address to use for directions is:

136 E Bagley Rd
Berea, OH 44017

IMPORTANT: Campers CAN NOT wear cleats inside. They will need to wear tennis shoes inside. We'd prefer close toe shoes with ankle support so please avoid Crocs and Slides. Parents are permitted to stay and watch camp however seating is limited and you MUST stay in the space dedicated to the indoor track. The duration of camp will occur in the Lou Higgins Rec Center.

There is a map attached, please contact Coach Nichol via email ([email protected]) or on his office line (440-826-5942) should you have any questions! I promise we will deliver the same great experience rain or shine, indoors or out!

See you at the Higgins Rec Center, check-in will start at 5:30 and camp will begin again at 6:30!

Let’s take a moment to recognize our Day 1 Award Winners:

What a wonderful start to our PM session of Youth Camp! I’m not sure who had more fun — the campers or our Player-Coaches! Check out some of the live action shots to highlight Day 1 📸

BW stands out in Best Independent College rankings Baldwin Wallace enjoys a top ten ranking among Best Privates in Ohio and a best program ranking for sport management in the U.S.

Just a few short hours before check-in begins at 5:30! You can find us at George Finnie Stadium located at:

123 E Bagley Rd
Berea, OH 44017

We will have coaches out and about to help guide you in but keep a lookout for the posted signs and you’ll know you’re in the right spot.

Check-in will be on the South (Scoreboard side) of the field on the home side of the track. See you then!

We are anxious for camp to start tomorrow evening! I wanted to drop everyone a quick note to help make your arrival and camp experience as smooth as possible!

1.) The address for George Finnie Stadium is:
123 E Bagley Rd
Berea, OH 44017

You will be able to park in the Packard Athletic Center - Kleist Hall lot. We will have coaches and event signs on both Bagley Rd and Beech St to help guide you in.

2.) Parents are welcome to stick around and watch their campers but are not required to. If you elect to watch camp, we ask that you do so from the stands.

3.) Kona Ice will be in the parking lot following camp. If you or your campers are looking for a sweet treat after speed ball, we’ve got you covered!

Thanks so much, see you all tomorrow!

Just a few short hours until registration for next week’s session closes! Get in while you can and tell your friends to do the same so you can save a few extra $ and rest easy this weekend knowing your camper will have their spot secured for what’s shaping up to be a great camp!

A few updates:

1.) Back by popular demand: THE COMBINE!!
We reconfigured the schedule so your campers can test their strength, speed, and agility across a two day span. They will receive a commemorative certificate at the conclusion of camp with all their testing data alongside their T-Shirt.

2.) NEW FOR THE FIRST TIME - TUG’O’WAR
Lookout for what will certainly be fun still frames of your campers giving it their all against one another.

3.) Reminder: Bring your own water, cleats are not necessary, and camp will still be outside EVEN IF we experience rain. IF WE EXPERIENCE INCLEMENT WEATHER (i.e Thunder/Lightning), WE WILL MOVE TO THE PACKARD ATHLETIC CENTER for an alternative camp schedule until we get the all clear.

4.) SNEAK PEEK: Camp Champ Swag 👀

Today and everyday, we remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice 🇺🇸

Wishing a peaceful and reflective Memorial Day to the Baldwin Wallace community as we remember the fallen heroes who served our country with honor and valor.

We are just two weeks away from the pre-registration deadline for our evening session (6/4-6/6) and one month out for our day session (6/18-6/20)!

Remember, the pre-registration price is $15 cheaper than if you pay at the door so secure your spot now so you can save a few bucks and get your youngster signed up for three great days of football fun.

More campers means a better speedball experience at the end of each day which is always the campers' favorite part. In fact, this year we will be giving out awards for the "Camp Champs" in both the NCAA and NFL Divisions. You don't want to miss out, sign up and share the link below!

Happy March Folks! The sun is shining and warm weather is around the corner! Camp season will be here before you know it and we are excited to announce we will be hosting not one, but TWO sessions this year!

First, June 4th-6th from 6:30 PM - 8:00 PM will be our first session at a cost of $60 pre-registration and $75 at the door! This will be a condensed session made available so your youngsters can still make it out to camp without parents needing to arrange rides while they're at work.

Second, June 18th-20th from 8:30 - 11:30 AM will be our second session at a cost of $75 pre-registration and $90 at the door! This is our traditional camp session identical to last year.

There’s no rain in the forecast which we love to see! We’ve spoken with our trainers and while we are monitoring the AQI, the temperature and humidity are in our favor. We are taking precautions to setup a few tents to cool off, increasing water breaks, and reducing strenuous activity by adding more instruction opportunities. The T-Shirt and Certificate presentation will also cut about 20 minutes off of camp. Please communicate any additional accommodations at check-in. See you soon!
