Stratford’s Coach Buck’s Baseball Camp Completes Session

STRATFORD, CT — (Contributed): The Stratford PAL/Stratford REC Coach Buck’s Baseball Camp concluded this Friday with 75 kids participating in the week-long camp at Penders Field.

The five-day camp from this past Monday through Friday involved three hours of field time each day.

Headlining the all-volunteer coaching and mentoring effort was Stratford High’s Head Baseball Coach Mick Buckmir along with his two of his main assistants, coaches Skip Lance and Jim Sarantides.

The coaches also had plenty of help from both current and former Stratford High baseball players, Stratford police officers involved in the Stratford PAL program, and plenty of staff from the Stratford Recreation Department.

The 75 kids participating from Stratford and other areas towns were comprised of a peewee group (ages 6 to 8), an intermediate group (ages 9 to 11), and an elder group (ages 12 & 13). All campers were supplied with camp T-shirts and treated on the last day by a visit from an ice cream truck.
