Chandler Baseball Camp Project
Donation protected
Founded in 1957 by professional baseball player Bo Belcher, and guided for many years by his son, former Mets pitcher Tom Belcher, The Chandler Baseball Camp gave kids from around the world the opportunity to learn and play the game while enjoying a summer camp experience. The camp was closed several years ago after the death of Tom Belcher. In 2011 it was added to the National Register of Historic Places. In 2012 it was acquired by a private, Oklahoma-based investment company. The camp is currently in the midst of intense renovations to return it to it's old glory...the Belcher home and the Mess Hall both look amazing! Shean Field, the camp's main attraction, hosted Oklahoma State championship games for years. The funds being raised are to return Shean Field back into the ranks of one of the premier baseball parks in the state of Oklahoma. The money raised will go directly towards building a wrap-around press box behind home plate, stadium seating, scoreboard, lighting, sound system, dugouts, outfield wall, complete playing surface renovation, restrooms, and concession...etc.
