A weekend for families and young adults to relax, connect, heal, laugh and create memories.

About this Event

The fast pace of the holidays isn’t always easy.
Many of us have experienced loss, illness and other personal traumas in our families and it makes the holiday season feels MoRE like an endurance test.
This weekend getaway gives us time to reflect, calm down and enjoy the company of other people with similar experiences who just simply “get it”.
The weekend gives lots of opportunities to bond with your own family and make new friendships or just hangout and reflect on your own time. You can just relax in the tranquil surroundings or enjoy the workshops, activities and crafts we have designed for you.
Provided at no cost to families coping with grief, loss, illness and trauma. Children ages 6 and up are welcomed. We have many teens and young adults who enjoy the weekend too.

The BlueClaws been the Jersey Shore’s top stop for affordable, family entertainment here at the Jersey Shore – a responsibility we don’t take lightly – and we thank you for your support since 2001. Over the years, fans have seen some very special moments and some very special players. For example:

Two Phillies legends, Ryan Howard (2002) and Cole Hamels (2003) both played here. We retired both of their numbers as well, with Howard’s #29 being retired in 2010 and Hamels’ #19 being retired in 2014.
We have won three South Atlantic League Championships – 2006, 2009, and 2010 – and played for another in 2016, falling in the Championship Series to Rome.
Through 2018, we have drawn over 7.3-million fans to FirstEnergy Park – and we look forward to reaching the 8-million fan plateau soon!

Shore Town Baseball, a group led by Minor League Baseball veteran Art Matin that also includes several local partners, acquired the BlueClaws late in 2017 and they have immediately put their stamp on the BlueClaws.
The BlueClaws opened a brand-new Mini Golf Course, Home Run Pavilion (boardwalk game area), and Biergarten in 2018 and in 2019 will open brand new, revamped picnic areas.
