“Spring training at Hayner’s has once again been a great experience. When we ended the week last year we knew we would be back again this year. Kolbie has expressed how much fun he has had making new friends and learning more about the game. As a parent I feel confident dropping Kolbie off knowing he is comfortable and safe at your camp. But the most important aspect of your program for me is the approach taken with all the boys by Norm and Ken and all the other coaches. Every child is treated equally and encouraged to do their best. For me the morning talk is just as important as learning the skills needed to be a great player. Thank you!

- Bonnie Speanburg, Hoosick Valley, NY

“The heights by great men reached and kept

But they, while their companions slept,

Were toiling upward in the night.”
