OUR MISSION
Mega Camp is the execution of a dream to bring youth softball opportunities to Alaska that wouldn’t otherwise be available. More specifically, Mega Camp is a 2-day, youth softball skills camp coached and run by former Division I Stanford University softball players. With Alaska lacking any collegiate softball programs of its own, local players are void of the value that comes from training and interacting with such high-level athletes. By hosting Mega Camp in Alaska, we eliminate the need for the expensive out-of-state travel typically required to receive this unique level of mentorship and coaching. Mega Camp aims to spark excitement and confidence in players of all skill and interest levels while also providing guidance and motivation for those with dreams of playing collegiate softball themselves.
OUR ROOTS
The Mega Camp dream was initiated by local coach and Eagle River native Lauren Frost. Lauren grew up playing baseball in Eagle River and was later recruited to play softball for Stanford University, where she played for four years and graduated in 2019. Upon returning home post-graduation, her involvement with youth softball in the area became a passion and true joy of hers. Through recognizing the privilege she had to play softball at a high level and the impact her knowledge and experience could make on Alaska softball, Lauren knew she wanted to take things a step further by providing Alaskans access to something even more valuable: the combined knowledge and experience of her former Stanford teammates. By bringing these exceptional athletes to Alaska, Mega Camp aims to provide coaching, mentorship, and inspiration to the next generation of Alaska softball players in an event unlike anything Alaska has experienced before.

Mega Camp 2024 Parent
"This was an amazing camp for my daughter. She's been to several other camps and this was the most relaxed I have seen girls. They were like sponges trying to soak up every bit of information and skill from all the coaches. It was so clear they were enjoying themselves. The wiffle ball tournament at the end just topped it all off!"

MEGA CAMP 2024
Mega Camp 2024 brought together over 100 athletes from across Alaska and as far away as Arizona and Florida for two days of elite softball instruction. Players trained with 12 former Stanford University softball players—including seven Women's College World Series competitors and one newly minted professional athlete—gaining valuable skills and insights from some of the game’s best. It was an unforgettable weekend filled with energy, learning, and a whole lot of softball!
