Don Coy 1922 - 2002

Went on to serve for the Royal Canadain Navy and played for the Navy baseball team. After completing his tenure in the Navy Don went on to play Semi-professional baseball in Oliver. Once Don's playing days were over he established the baseball camp in 1960 as well as scouted for the St. Louis Cardinals. Through Don's guidance the camp has seen many players move onto the professional and college ranks. His hard work and devotion to doing it right allowed Don to established a reputation and baseball camp that is second to none.

E Dale Parker
The original director of the Okanagan baseball camp. An Oroville, Washington native that joined the Okanagan Baseball camp in the first year of it's inception. Dale was a former scout of the Montreal Expos and a former coach at the University of Washington and Seattle Pacific College. Dale was instrumental in his connections in developing the camp to such a high level due to his contacts that allowed him to bring the best instructors baseball had to offer into the Okanagan. Dale was recently inducted into the Washington Baseball coach's hall of fame and the University of Washington Hall of fame. Presently Dale works with the Seattle Mariners and conducts a number of clinics throughout the Northwest. He also serves as the CEO of the World Baseball Foundation.

He then had managing stints with the Wenatchee Chiefs and Salem Senators of the WIL. Shortly after his professional days Don made his way to Oliver to act as the head catching instructor. Don has probably had more instructional longevity than anyone in the history of the camp. Presently Don is retired and living in Eastern Washington.
