WHAT PARENTS ARE SAYING

Good Morning Mr. Hutchins,

I just wanted to say thanks to Coach Childress and staff for putting on a great camp! My son participated in the Futures Camp last week and had the time of his life. I’ve always known A&M for rich traditions as well as excellent academics and athletics, and the manner in which the Futures Camp was run enhanced that perception. The boys were taught a lot of baseball, but the values that were taught will go with them as they grow into men. He is still talking about the camp and he’s ready to go back again next year. Please let Coach Childress know how much we appreciate the excellent job!

Jason,

Sorry for such a late note. I wanted to let you know what a phenomenal time my son had at the camp. He said it was hard but fun. He cannot wait to go back next year!!! I told him even if he learned one thing it was worth the time spent there. I think I mentioned before that his sister is an Aggie and is a junior this year in the college of science as a microbiology major. His room is decorated in TAMU colors and logos as he loves the Aggies and his big sister. He said one of the coolest things was when he was recog-nized at the end of camp for his manners and everyone Whooped!. The kid even teared up. Unlike those who don’t know the traditions, he knows the value of a good Whoop!! and was touched that TAMU gave him one. My sincerest thanks for recognizing and validating the importance of show-ing respect to others. Thanks again for getting him into that camp and for making his first overnight camping experience so wonderful. We will see you next year.

FACILITIES

• Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park is the site of the Texas A&M Baseball Camp and serves as home to the Texas A&M Aggies. Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park under-went a major renovation that began on June 7, 2011. Some new features of the stadium include an expanded concourse and concessions area, luxury suites, a new press box, club seating, two grass berms, expanded locker rooms and coaches offices, a student athletic center, and extended seating closer to the field. However, the seating capacity was decreased from 7,000 to 5,400 to ac-commodate the changes (although with standing room only it will still hold over 7,000). Olsen Field at Blue Bell Park reopened for the first game of the 2012 season.
