Fairmount Towers is located on the Southwest corner of Hillside and 21st Street East. For check-in, parking is located just behind the towers. You must go one block North on Hillside to 22nd Street, then west to the parking lot. Signs will be guiding you to the checkin location. We usually check in the campers in front of the cafeteria.

Items to Bring to Camp:

• Wear whatever workout attire is most comfortable
• Baseball Bat -Baseball Glove - Catchers gear (catchers only)
• Batting Gloves - Batting Helmet
• Please mark name on all items.
• Gene Stephenson Shocker Baseball Camps will not be responsible for lost items.

Non-Baseball Items to Bring to Camp:

• Good attitude!
• Clothes: shirts, shorts, baseball pants, extra clothes to lounge around in at night, socks, personal undergarments - REMEMBER YOU ARE HERE FOR 5 DAYS/4 NIGHTS - THERE IS NO PLACE TO DO LAUNDRY - BRING ENOUGH TO LAST YOU ALL WEEK
• Personal hygiene items: toothpaste, toothbrush, shower soap, shampoo, cream rinse, DEODERANT, contact solution, etc
• LINENS ARE PROVIDED (sheets, pillow, pillow case, towel,washcloth) BUT you may bring extra pillows, sleeping bag, etc. Whatever you feel will make you more comfortable.
• PHONES: Coaches staying in the dorms will have a cell phone, however, sending one with the child is fine. Just make sure they are responsible enough NOT to lose it. They will not be able to carry it with them during camp. They will have access to it during breakfast, lunch, dinner and after camp in the evenings.
• VIDEO GAMES - parents, this is up to you. The campers will not be back to their rooms until 8:45 - 9 pm each night. We ask that "lights are out" by 10 p.m. Again, this decision is up to you, the parent.
  
  SNACKS: There are vending machines at the dorms however, it will save YOU (parent) money if snacks are sent. There is not a refrigerator in the rooms, but coolers are allowed and ice can easily be found. The kids do get hungry at night so snacks are always a welcome treat.
  
  MONEY: The coaches do allow the kids to order pizza at night after camp. The coaches will coordinate this but the camper is responsible to pay. This is always a great "bonding" time for the campers and coaches.
  
  CARDS: What's camp without a card game at night?
  
  Alarm Clock - this will help the coaches in the mornings.
