* This is a list of pros who attended the camp in 2013. Likely, there may be additional pros in attendance and this list will be updated periodically. Unforeseen changes in schedules or other circumstances may also keep some of these pros from returning in 2014.

I haven't touched a baseball in 30 years and am afraid I will make a fool of myself.

This is the single biggest concern we have amongst new campers. We can't stress enough that there is no pre-requisite for experience, talent or physical prowess. The camp is meant to be fun, and we have campers of all ages and abilities. We only require that you enjoy the game of baseball and the Red Sox.

Do most people attend with a friend or attend on their own?

We have a great mix of attendees. We have friends coming down together, father/son combinations, co-workers, etc. In addition, we have many campers (almost 75%) who come down completely on their own. If you do happen to come alone, there are many opportunities to meet and socialize with other campers, and many new lifelong friendships have been started at camp.

Do I need a rental car?

Transportation is provided to/from the Airport and the Hotel, as well as the Hotel and the ballpark each day. It is not necessary to rent a car and is entirely up to you if you decide to do so.

What is the average age of a camper?

The minimum age to attend camp is 30 years old. Our campers range in age from 30 - 78 years old. Regardless of age, each camper has the same opportunity to play.

What equipment do I need for camp?

We provide a full authentic home and road Red Sox uniform. We also provide all bats, helmets, catchers gear and other general baseball equipment. Each camper should bring their own glove, cleats and any accessories they may want for the week (sunglasses, batting gloves, etc).

Are there photographers and videographers available to capture the week's events?

Yes. We have both professional photographers and videographers on site throughout the week to capture the events. Photos will be available for purchase both at the camp and afterward. We provide a full video after the camp has concluded as part of the package and is at no additional charge.

Are family and friends allowed at camp?

Yes. Friends, family and fans alike are allowed to attend all games free of charge. If you wish to have your family member or friend attend the functions, these are available at an additional charge and can be purchased on an individual basis or through a spectator package which includes access to all events, as well as other special amenities.

What is the Fantasy Camp Reunion game?

All campers are invited to take part in a reunion game at Fenway Park during the 2013 season. This is an additional charge, but includes a ticket to a Red Sox game, and the opportunity to play a game at Fenway Park the following day. See the Fenway Reunion tab for more detail on this exclusive opportunity.

What kind of physical shape should I be in for camp?

We recommend that ever camper try to be in the best shape possible to ensure their Fantasy Camp experience is enjoyed to its fullest. That said, we realize that nobody attending is a professional athlete, so Olympic training ahead of time is in no way required. We also have the Red Sox professional training staff on site to help with any injuries or sore muscles that may result from a week at camp.

All campers are invited to take part in a two-day event at Fenway Park during the 2014 season. The event is an additional fee ($600 previously) and includes:

Red Sox Home Game Day:

• A Game ticket to a Red Sox game at Fenway Park (option to purchase additional companion tickets at face value)
• The championship team from the 2014 camp will receive their championship rings during an on-field ceremony prior to the first pitch of the game.

Camper Game Day:

• A shortened game (~5 innings) on the field at Fenway Park the day after the Red Sox home game
• Breakfast and lunch at Fenway Park
• Dress in the visitor's clubhouse
• Option to purchase companion tickets for the event, which includes breakfast, lunch and a VIP Tour of Fenway Park and the opportunity to look behind the Green Monster.

A short note to say a BIG thanks for an amazing week. On vacations and things like that, there's always something that doesn't go quite right. Even if it's a tiny thing. Well, I can't say this about the fantasy camp week. You ran the perfect camp. Right down to the tiny things. All the big things were amazing, and all the details just as strong. It was truly the best money I've ever spent on myself. So thank you. Please share this with anyone. It was truly a special week.
  - Todd Spencer

I just wanted to send a formal thank you to you both for an amazing camp this year. I can't describe how memorable the experience was for me. You have no idea how much Rick, I and our friends think of camp throughout the year. It's not uncommon for us to just pull out a random memory from camp and it never fails to bring a smile. I do hope that you both have some time to enjoy the week as well, even with all the work you do to keep us all happy. All the pros were fantastic, as always. I can't count how many wonderful memories I have from everyone. Now I get to tell folks that Dave Henderson was teaching me all about base-running, and I got so much wonderful advice from Al Bumbry, Rich Gedman, Oil Can and more.... Gosh. Again, thank you again for everything. Hopefully, Rick and I will be seeing you next year, or at least at the reunion game.
  - Marge Shinkle (one of two women at camp this year)

The 2011 Red Sox fantasy camp was everything I hoped for, and more. The coaches were friendly and accommodating, the facilities and organization of the camp were first class, the games were all competitive and fun, and I had a terrific bunch of guys on my team. This camp was a present for my 50th birthday present, and it was far and away the best present I've ever received.
