Norwood Location Details (Nationals Camps)
A streamlined, pro-campus experience designed to maximize instruction, gameplay, and Big League energy — right in the heart of Bethesda.
We offer morning and afternoon Extended Day options for families who need additional coverage before or after the core camp day, along with optional after-camp lessons for players seeking extra instruction.
Morning Extended Day (AMX)
Morning Extended Day begins at 8:00 a.m., giving campers a relaxed, baseball-themed start to the day. Activities may include light catch, trivia, and small-group games that build connection and excitement while easing campers into movement. Players choose activities that match their energy as coaches help them settle in and get ready to play.
Afternoon Extended Day (PMX)
Afternoon Extended Day runs from 3:00–5:00 p.m., with flexible pickup throughout the window. Campers enjoy a lighter extension of the day featuring mini-games, creative challenges, and outdoor movement. Coaches may introduce camper-favorite options like pop-up catches, running games, or low-key hitting challenges using safe equipment. Campers also enjoy time for choice, conversation, and a Goldfish snack break as they wind down from a full day.
After-Camp Lessons
Optional after-camp hitting or fielding lessons are offered daily and run until 4:00 p.m. These small-group sessions provide focused instruction that builds on skills introduced during camp. Space is limited, and sessions often fill before the camp week begins.
- AM Extended Day Tuition: $60/week
- PM Extended Day Tuition: $150/week
- Hitting or Fielding Lesson Tuition: $65/day
