PLEASE VISIT US AT OUR NEWLY REMODELED WEB-SITE @            www.RisingStarCamp.com

Welcome to the Rising Star Baseball Camp located in New Rochelle, NY
(also known as New York Baseball Camp) web-site. This New York based baseball camp
draws athletes (ages 7-15) from Long Island, Westchester County, the Bronx/Queens,
and Connecticut. While many campers for this baseball-day camp reside in Scarsdale,
New Rochelle, Larchmont, and Mamaroneck, numerous players come from all over the tri-state area.
Several campers have come from other countries, including Japan, Finland, Ireland, and Nigeria (Africa).
The camp is split into three separate age categories: A Ball (ages 7-9), AA Ball (ages 10-12),
and AAA Ball (ages 13-15). Among the various day camps in Westchester County,
the sophisticated baseball drills and activities are unique compared to all
other area camps. An excellent camper to coach ratio combined with instruction
from college coaches and players has helped the camp produce several current college
baseball players and dozens of high school players. Please check our site frequently, as
photographs, information, statistics, helpful links, and much more will be updated monthly.

All returning campers will receive a camp brochure in March of the
following camp year. Click on the link on the menu to the left entitled
"Camp Brochure" to print out an application/registration form or simply
click on the red link below "CampBrochure".

**Please Note: Tuition checks will not be cashed/deposited until after June 1st
so that campers can sign up as early as possible. In addition, campers will not
receive a confirmation letter/phone call prior to their camp session unless there
is an issue with a late registration form or full enrollment for that session.**
