Wayland Resident Enjoys SHARK Adaptive Baseball Camp at Franciscan Hospital for Children!

On Friday, August 14, the Lowell Spinners’ “Millie-Gator” made a special visit to Franciscan Hospital for Children’s SHARK Adaptive Baseball Camp. The kids showed off their skills and participated in drills while being cheered on by their coaches, therapists and “Millie-Gator”!

SHARK Adaptive Baseball Camp is offered by the hospital every summer and offers all children the chance to play America’s favorite game in a fun and safe environment. Throughout the week, children with special needs – both from the Kennedy Day School at Franciscan and other area communities – work on pitching, catching, batting, base-running/wheeling and other baseball activities in small groups with the aid of their coach and therapists, who direct the group activities.
