"We have seen some tremendous high school talent come through our prospect camps in recent years and we wanted to expand our offerings this year and help continue to grow the sport here in western Pennsylvania, said head coach Shawn Lutz. "We signed 39 high school players this year on National Signing Day and a lot of those guys were players that came to our camp, stood out and earned an offer from our coaching staff."
 
Each of the nine camps will be one-day camps and will take place at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium or the McFarland Recreational Sports Complex on the Slippery Rock campus. The Slippery Rock coaching staff and members of the current team will run all camps.
