Conger highlights local youth baseball camp

Sluggers HB and Mizuno USA will present a summer baseball camp for local youth beginning Aug. 18. The camp runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. through Aug. 22 at the Ocean View High varsity baseball field.

The camp’s special guest will be one of its former campers, Hank Conger, who played at Huntington Beach High before being drafted by the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Conger currently plays for the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes.

The camp is open to youth ages 8 to 14 and costs $200 per camper.

“Mornings at camp will be designed for fundamental baseball instruction and the afternoons will be more about position-specific instruction,” said Darren Nelson, owner and instruction at Sluggers HB.

For more information and to reserve a spot in the camp, contact Nelson of Sluggers HB at (714) 375-1775 or visit the website www.slugershb.com.
