Malcolm also runs official camps: via Glendale’s Nicolet Rec, he leads a Hit RX summer camp (June 12–22 and June 26–July 6, ages 6–12, Fee $500/$560). This is a great structured option if those dates align.

Recreation Camps

The Nicolet Recreation Department (serving Glendale and surrounding North Shore) hosts baseball camps every summer. Notably:

• Hit RX Camp (Malcolm Frazier): 4-day hitting/fielding camp (Monday–Thursday) at Maslowski Park (Glendale). This camp uses Malcolm’s “diagnosis/prescription” approach. Dates: June 12–22 and June 26–July 6 (skipping July 4). Ages: 6–8 & 9–12 groups. Fee: $500 (resident) / $560 (non-res). (Max ~10 kids per session.)

• Nicolet Baseball Camp (Jason Grodsky & NHS staff): 4-day general skills camp July 17–20 at Maslowski Park. Grades: 3rd–6th (9am–12pm) and 7th–9th (1pm–4pm). Fee: $150 (resident) / $170 (non-res). Coaches include Nicolet High School’s baseball staff and alumni (Head Coach Jason Grodsky is one of the instructors).

Register: Online through the Nicolet Rec portal (see nicolet.us or the Vermont Systems link). These camps fill up quickly, so sign up early. The official Nicolet PDF flyer confirms dates/fees

Private Lessons by Local Players/Coaches

Beyond organized programs, many local college or high school players offer private instruction by arrangement. For example, Tyler Andrews – a freshman left-handed pitcher at UW–Milwaukee (Whitefish Bay HS alum) – has advertised summer pitching lessons (community networks confirm his availability). Similarly, recent high school stars and current college players often teach batting or pitching one-on-one.

• Examples: A local group “CTHP Baseball Coaching” offers youth lessons at Whitefish Bay fields for $20–$30/hr. Other coaches (often found via Facebook groups or word-of-mouth) charge roughly $25–$60 for a half-hour or $50–$120 for an hour, depending on credentials.

• Finding Instructors: Check community sports Facebook pages, local travel-ball programs, or ask coaches. The North Shore has many talented players (Nicolet Knights, Glen Knights, etc.) who teach on the side. Always ask for references or experience when hiring a private coach.
