Join us this season for Story Time at Nationals Park! These pre-game programs will be held on five Sundays throughout the season with Left Field Gate opening early at 12:00 p.m.! Families in attendance will read along with a Nationals player, receive free books, and participate in literacy-focused activities in partnership with the Library of Congress, Smithsonian National Postal Museum, and National Geographic Kids. On July 7, we will be reading “Just Like Josh Gibson” by Angela Johnson.

Anyone with a ticket for the day's Nationals game can attend. Story Time is held in the Kennedy Conference Room and begins at 12:15 p.m.

Summer is the time for camp and baseball! The Nationals invite area youth camp groups to join us for our annual Camp Day at Nationals Park. Participants have the option to receive a complimentary meal with their ticket. The 12:05 p.m. scheduled start time is ideal for camps with early dismissal times. It will be an adventure!

Lace up your shoes and get ready to run! All kids ages 4-12 are invited to run the bases at Nationals Park after every Sunday afternoon home game, weather permitting. Kids will start their run at first base and they will be directed around the bases to home plate. Sliding into bases is prohibited. An adult must accompany each participating child to the field – adults will drop children off at first base and meet them near home plate. Please note that adults may not accompany children as they run the bases. One adult will be permitted onto the field per child participating in Kids Run the Bases.

The line for Kids Run the Bases forms outside the ballpark on the First Street sidewalk – participants should exit the ballpark through the right field gate and proceed to the line. The run will begin approximately 20 minutes after the conclusion of the game and the event usually lasts about an hour.

Jr. Nationals Kids Club MVP members receive access to an exclusive line that goes onto the field first. Be sure to bring your Jr. Nats badge to join MVP line!

Two Nationals players will sign autographs for fans before every Sunday game. Autographs will take place at the top of the Nationals dugout starting one hour prior to first pitch, weather permitting and subject to player schedules. Fans must obtain a free voucher in order to participate in the autograph sessions - vouchers will be distributed on a first come, first served basis at Section 103, starting when the gates open 90 minutes before first pitch.
