The annual Roanoke Rapids Recreation Parks & Recreation along with the Roanoke Rapids High School Baseball Camp wrapped up on Thursday at Doyle field. 

This year Roanoke Rapids High School head baseball coach Mark Snead had 41 players ranging from ages 7-13 attended the camp.  The campers were divided into 4 groups, based on age and ability, in order to maximize their camp experience. Each day the campers learned the fundamentals of hitting, pitching, outfield play, and infield play.  They also learned about four key priorities in life ( Family, Friends, Morals, and Education).  

Coach Snead stated, "This was a great week of camp.  The campers were very well behaved and listened and learned each day. We had 3 key goals each day: to learn about baseball, to learn about key priorities in life, and to have fun.  We could really see the improvement and fun from day to day. I want to thank all the campers for making this such a fun week. I also want to thank Coach Brandon Clay, Aron Crumb, and Logan Jackson for their help as instructors to make this a successful camp week."
