Last year the Cooperstown Dreams Park in Cooperstown had to scale back their 2021 season considerably due to COVID-19, but in 2022, it's the return to a full, pre-pandemic baseball camp schedule with the first week starting May 29. The last week of the camp starts on August 27.

Cooperstown Dreams Park which has been in operation for over 25 years has had a significant impact on Otsego County tourism and economy along the way. This baseball camp brings in thousands of people to Cooperstown. The families who come along with their children spend money on lodging, food, and more during the time their child is at the camp. Plus, the camp employs over 600 (full and part-time) people during the summer.

The economic impact of the Cooperstown Dreams Park became very evident during the pandemic when the camp couldn't hold its 2020 season and then last year, with a greatly shortened season. Businesses in Coopertown struggled to remain open and it's great to know that the camp is going to return to full operation this summer.

Chances are you've heard radio ads promoting available summer jobs at Cooperstown Dreams Park.

There are some upcoming job fairs that will be held at the facility off of Rt. 28 in Cooperstown:

- April 9 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
- April 23 from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm
