Camp Bakes

Four Days. Elite Coaches. Real Results.

Four Days. Elite Coaches. Real Results. Intensive In-Person Training That Changes Your Game Forever.

Immerse yourself in four full days of hands-on coaching alongside Mark Baker and a hand-selected team of PBA Hall of Famers. Combine on-lane work, equipment strategy, spare shooting, mental-game training, and daily personalized plans to build the repeatable motion and lane-play confidence you need to compete at your highest levels.

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.
