Fairmont State University will hold a softball summer camp from Sunday, June 14 to Thursday, June 18 for girls who are in or will be in grades 7-12 as of spring 2009.

Double-occupancy housing will be in FSU dorms centrally located near the dining hall and athletic facilities and every attempt will be made to assign requested roommates.

Cost of the camp is $285 for overnight campers or $225 for extended day campers, 8 a.m.-8 p.m., and includes three meals per day, instruction, facility fees and camp t-shirt.

There is a $100 non-refundable deposit due with registration and a $10 discount for registrations received by May 1.
