The proof
From our fields to the big leagues
Since 1984, Cresse campers have gone on to major-league careers — including a Hall of Famer and an MVP now wearing Dodger blue.

The Cresse difference
Why parents choose this camp
Fundamentals first, pressure never
An intensive fundamental training program in a fun, disciplined, non-competitive atmosphere. Campers rotate through training stations — throwing mechanics, base running, bunting, relays — then train at their two favorite positions every afternoon.
Coached like the pros
Mark Cresse spent 25 years with the Dodgers (1974–1998) and coached in five World Series. The camp hires experienced high-school and college coaches — and Mark takes a hands-on part in the daily program, just as he has since 1984.
A full day of baseball
Pre-camp care from 8:00 AM, training and team games all morning, individual position instruction every afternoon, done at 3:30. Campers are grouped by age and skill so every kid is challenged and safe.
Endorsed by big-league managers
Word gets around the dugout
“He has a great knowledge of the game of baseball, and if you have a son that has an interest in learning how to play baseball at a high level, I highly recommend his instructional camp. The drills Mark uses in his camps are scaled-down versions of the same drills we use in spring training with our Angel players. Give him a call and give your kid the experience of a lifetime.”
“His baseball camp is the best that I have seen and I would highly recommend it for any young player learning to play baseball. Mark's method of teaching is not only informative, but he makes it a lot of fun for his campers at the same time.”
