Gettysburg College is located 3 blocks from the center of Gettysburg, a town whose history attracts millions of visitors annually. The campus, which includes a former Civil War hospital and the office where President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote his memoirs, sits next to the Gettysburg National Military Park, which offers many historical and recreational opportunities.
Campers will enjoy playing on the beautifully manicured home field of the Bullets, Bobby Jones Field. Dedicated in 2004, Bobby Jones Field is home to the Gettysburg softball team. The field features brand new dugouts, an outfield fence 215 feet from home plate, state-of-the-art scoreboard and quality bullpens. The facility was named in honor of Robert '65 and Sharon Jones.
Camp Director
Ashley Mowery
Ashley Mowery, a former field hockey standout at Messiah College, enters her second season as a field hockey and softball assistant coach at Gettysburg College in 2012-13.
As a four-year starting goalkeeper at Messiah, Mowery helped guide the Falcons to an outstanding four-year run from 2006-09. The team advanced to the NCAA Division III Final Four in three of her four years and as a senior in 2009, she helped Messiah to a 22-1 record and a berth in the national championship game. Mowery was a three-time All-American, a four-time all-region selection, and a three-time All-Commonwealth Conference honoree.
After graduation, Mowery served as an assistant coach at Messiah in 2010, working with the goalkeepers and helping the Falcons to a second-straight appearance in the national championship game.
Mowery also competed in softball for one season at Messiah, but was forced to stop playing due to a severe head injury. However, she stayed involved in the sport by serving as an assistant coach at Camp Hill H.S. in 2008-09.
A Dillsburg native and a graduate of nearby Northern York H.S., Mowery graduated from Messiah in 2010 with a degree in health and exercise science.

Taught My Daughter More Softball & Being A Young Lady
"I cannot put into words the experience my daughter gained from going to the camp. She not only learned skills in softball but how to be a better young lady. The morals and values the staff brought to the camp were extraordinary. We looked at sending her to another camp and decided on the NIKE Camp for convenience and I am so glad we did. She was going to be a day camper but when we got there she saw some friends and we were able to change her to be an overnight camper. I will highly recommend this camp to anyone who is interested in gaining skills and personal growth. We look forward to next year!!"
Honest assessmentof my skills
"I've been playing competitive travel softball for five years now yet I felt the coaches at this camp helped me improve my game in many ways. They showed me where I needed improvement and were very honest in their assessments of my skills. They recommended coaches to help me continue to improve after the camp - and I really appreciate that."
Thanks for another great experience!
"The director and her staff were very positive and seemed to make all the girls love to play. This is my second time doing the camp and I would do it again. Thanks for another great experience and great memories."
