With the warmer weather finally in sight, summer camps across New Jersey have been heating up with registrations for the 2025 season. And as almost any parent or guardian across the Great Garden State knows, those summer camps fill up quickly.

How quickly? Often times, fast. And should you act too late, the waitlist might be the only option for you. At that point, you might have to hope that the camp will either accept more kids in the future or that others will drop out.

It's just the reality of summer camps for kids, which also holds true for sports-based camps. And if those camps are with your favorite major baseball teams, for example, don't be surprised to see interest spike.

Here in New Jersey, many kids are huge fans of the Philadelphia Phillies. In fact, many adults are also fans of theirs, especially South Jersey.

And if your kids fall into this category, then there is great news for you. The Phillies Baseball Academy summer camps are coming to New Jersey during their HomeRun week and enrollment is open now.

According to philliesacademy.com, "For campers ages 6-14, the HomeRun Experience is designed to provide overall skill instruction and training in every position. Each camper receives age-appropriate coaching, promoting progression in baseball fundamentals."

All campers will also have a chance to meet a Phillies player. And let's be real, how awesome is that for the kids?
