Lemont Lightning Holds Second Inclusive Softball Camp

LEMONT, IL — The Lemont Lightning Baseball and Softball Club, in partnership with Northern Will SRA and SEAPSPAR, held its second Inclusive Softball Camp this summer. The camp started in July and ran until Aug. 4 and was aimed at children with special needs ages 8 to 18.

“Each year we are looking to add more players to come out and play,” said Guy Maniscalo, head trainer. “We have kids from all over the tri-county area, Lemont, Homer Glen, Romeoville and Lockport."

He added that players and coaches volunteer their time to help with the camp and paraprofessionals from Northern Will SRA are on-site during camp. The camp was held at Miracle Field at the Lemont Park District.

Maniscalo said the camp is looking to grow for next season, so if you are a parent of a child with special needs or a special recreation organization, you can reach out to the camp at 630-880-1126 or email at gmaniscalo@farmersagent.com.
