An Experience Unlike Any Other Bowling Camp
Camp Bakes is held at the Strike Zone Bowling Center inside Sunset Station in Henderson, Nevada — a great facility that lets you stay focused on one thing: your game. Over four days, you'll work directly with me and a team of PBA Hall of Famers, with the kind of personal attention you won't find anywhere else.
The camp is open to one-handed and two-handed bowlers of all competitive levels, and we draw bowlers from across the country. A lot of camp participants return year after year — and that says more than I ever could.
