A note from Camp Headquarters
Don't be left on the Bench!
The Fantasy Camp is
Perfect for:
Those who have limited playing experience...
Even if you never progressed past Little League, we still have a place for you!  Learn fundamentals from some of the better teachers to ever take the field! 
The Avid Fan...
You probably played a lot of organized ball, but now you have turned into an armchair enthusiast.  Now is your chance to step up to the plate for a taste of what the "show" is all about! 
Those who just missed...
So you may have had a big league tryout, but never quite gave up the dream.  You may even play organized ball now.  How does Fantasy Camp MVP sound to you? 
Regardless of your occupation, age or experience, we want you to know that this camp is for everyone who has ever dreamed of playing big league baseball.  You probably fit into at least one of the categories above, but even if none describes you, we are sure this camp will satisfy all of your baseball desires. 
A Note from Camp Headquarters...

Peter A. Magowan
President and Managing 
General Partner
San Francisco Giants 
Throughout baseball, the Giants are revered for their rich history, their winning tradition and their long roster of the game's greatest players over the 100 years the team has been in existence.  Few things evoke those feelings more than the Giants uniform. Every day that Giants Fantasy Campers button up their official Giants jerseys and step out onto the diamond, I know they experience the unique sense of pride that goes with it.  The Giants organization has a commitment to championship performance at every level, and we bring the same dedication to the Giants Fantasy Camp.  I invite you to come and live out your dreams for an entire week-as a big leaguer!  It's a vacation opportunity not to be missed. 
What Fantasy Camp 'Vets' say:
Playing with a great group of teammates and being with the players I grew up with through radio broadcasts was unbeatable. Then I was lucky, I could see these great Giants from the bleachers. But now I get to sit in the dugout with them.  Boyhood dreams do come true!" 
Doug "JC" Penney

"Everything that comprises the good of childhood was reawakened and permitted to flourish. For this one week, the little boy in the man came alive and the dream was renewed." 
Mitchell Nusbaum

Fantasy Camp At-A-Glance
On Sunday, after your arrival at Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport, you will be taken to our beautiful resort in Scottsdale, your home for the week.  You will settle in and relax for a few hours before attending the Welcome Reception, where you will meet and greet fellow campers and your Giants coaches. 
Monday morning, after an anxious night of sleep and an appetizing buffet breakfast, we'll shuttle you to the ballpark and your baseball fantasy will begin!  Upon entering the Giants clubhouse, you'll find your official Giants uniform hanging in your locker.  After "Kangaroo Court" and a bit of stretching, you'll be suited up and on the field ready to take part in the day's baseball activities, i.e. instructions, intrasquad games, catered lunch, team draft and practice.  It's at this practice where your new coaches will put you through your paces in order to form their master plan for winning the league title and advancing to Saturday's championship game.  When your day on the field is over our outstanding staff of Giants trainers await to put the pieces all back together and get you ready for the next day. 
Tuesday through Friday there's fun in store with plenty of baseball every day.  Each day the park is filled with batting practice and pre-game infield / outfield drills, just like the pros.  You'll enjoy specialty clinics conducted by the Giants coaches.  And of course the main attraction, the games, where you'll go head to head against other camp teams at Indian School Park and Scottsdale Stadium.  After each memorable day at the ballpark, evening activities are planned which include: 'Bull Sessions,' where you'll hear some of the wildest stories retold by the pros as they reminisce about days in the big leagues; or 'team night' where you hit the hot spots in Scottsdale with your team and coaches
On Saturday, after the league championship game, you'll get your shot to show how much you've improved over the week, and a chance to shine against the stars you once followed!  Whether it's a diving defensive play or a drive to the wall off a former Giant, the Fantasy Finale Game is the game of the week!  And to cap it all off, the evening's Awards Dinner and presentation will leave you with treasures to last a lifetime. 

 

Giants Camp is the Perfect Gift
A lot of Fantasy Camp spots are given as birthday and anniversary gifts, or as company incentives to those special employees.  What a great idea.... a gift that can never be surpassed, with enough baseball memories to last a lifetime.  You will create quite a stir giving this baseball vacation to your favorite Giants fan!  Let us know and we'll even help you with a surprise!
