This summer the Portland Sea Dogs, the Double-A affiliate of the Boston Red Sox, are pleased to partner with the Maine Lightning baseball and Maine Thunder softball programs to present several week-long baseball and softball camps for kids ages 7-12 throughout the greater Portland region.

“We are excited to be partnering with one of the top youth baseball and softball development programs in New England,” Sea Dogs President and General Manager Geoff Iacuessa. “To work alongside the Lightning and Thunder programs to grow baseball and softball in Maine is an exciting opportunity for us.”

Maine Lightning Baseball and Maine Thunder Softball are travel programs established to foster growth and development on and off the field. We focus on molding young players into recruitable athletes with an emphasis on development, athletic IQ and personal growth. Our ultimate goal is to prepare players for the next level of their careers, offering exposure to college recruiters and helping them find the right fit.

“We are excited for this partnership and the opportunities the Portland Sea Dogs can offer our players, families, and coaches,” Maine Lightning Bill O’Brien said “This will help continue our path of communal support, growth, and development through very unique and exciting opportunities.”

The camps will take place during the following weeks in the listed towns:
