Son attended the Mickey Owen Winter camp in Az. He was 14yrs old at the time and it was a very good camp. Can't speak for the Missouri operation.

Don't know how old your son is, or where you live but I'd recommend the Bucky Dent Baseball School in Delray Beach, Fl. Son went there twice and loved it each time. Just took a look and they have a couple of camps in St. Louis during the summer.www.buckydentbaseball.com.
Good luck.

Check out Bucky Dent's camps in Delray Beach Florida. Run by Larry Hoskins(one of the greatest baseball guys you'll ever meet), Wally Horsman(Piazza's hitting and catching coach), and Bucky Dent(bench coach for Reds and World Series hero). They have many minor leaguers working the camp as well as other minor league instructors. On top of that they have great current pros that come and workout and speak all offseason. The best time to attend is the new years week. Check it out at: www.Dentbaseball.com

I have had a couple of coaching buddies work at the Mickey Owen Camps and they get very high marks from what I have heard.

I have now been to Buck Dent and the Mickey Owens in Springfield MO and in AZ. I went to the Mickey Owens MO during the summer and that was some of the best baseball experiences I ever had. It is just pure baseball, nothing else. However, it has very ****** facilities and the coaches can be pretty tough on kids. The Mickey Owens in AZ I have been to a few times. This was when I was under 12 so I stayed with my parents, however, by brother did it when he was older and really enjoyed it. They have scouts and special guest speakers. It is a clean and well run place. Bucky Dent however, for me, was not the greatest experience. I went as a sophmore and at the age of 15, there were only 5 other people around my age. It seemed like it was more to have fun then to get better. Most of the kids were pretty young and you did not recieve much one on one attention. Although your son will have fun at Bucky Dent I doubt he will become a better baseball player like the Mickey Owen Camps.
