Who said camp is just for the kids? Twenty four major league baseball teams offer annual fantasy camps that are not only geared towards adults, but actually require attendees to be a minimum age, usually 25 or 30.

The structure of these camps is basically the same: they generally take place in the team’s spring training facility in January or February; they are usually about a week long and feature instructions and game action and players get their very own team uniforms which they can keep.

One of the big draws of the fantasy camps is the former major leaguers that take part in the camp as either instructors or lecturers. The quality of these big leaguers varies from fantasy camp to fantasy camp, but tend to be big names in at least the host franchise’s team history.

Other variations in Fantasy camp include cost (although they are all in the $3500 to $6,000 range) and inclusiveness (some packages include airfare and dinner, while these will be extras in others.)

The average age of a fantasy camper is between 40 and 50, and just about every camp says you don’t need much baseball experience to participate. However hey do recommend you be in good enough shape to not drop dead from some calisthenics.

We’ve listed information about all the 24 active fantasy camps below, alphabetically by team. Additionally most fantasy camps allow for a reduced price a spouse or companion to come to the camp but not participate in the baseball exercises  While most camp base their price on double occupancy hotels, you can usually upgrade to a single occupancy room for between $300 and $500 more. Some camps also offer VIP packages, which typically involve more time and a golf outing with the former player. Make sure to book as soon as possible as most camps will sell out.
