Establishing Cameron as a youth sports destination is not a dream. It is a reality.
The Cameron Future Foundation is leading the capital campaign to raise funds for Phases 2 at The Yards. The total remaining cost is about $22 million, and the benefit to the region will be much greater.
Estimates for the complete project suggest 24 direct full-time equivalent (FTE) jobs and 76 in-direct FTE jobs. In a town the size of Cameron, 50 to 100 jobs would be transformational. Once completed, it is estimated that more than $167 million in economic activity will be generated over a 20-year period.

LEARN ABOUT The
Cameron Future Foundation
The Cameron Future Foundation (CFF) was created with the hope and vision of improving the lives of people in Cameron and the greater Central Texas area. We achieve this high calling by supporting projects and initiatives that strive to improve economic development and quality of life so that opportunity to thrive is available to all. Leveraging our greatest assets – our people, our spirit and amazing central location to all of the metropolitan areas of Texas – we see an opportunity to make Cameron a destination for youth sports.
With $8 million of the $22 million project completed. The Yards of Cameron is ready to host baseball events and activities of all kinds at the Founders Hall and Farmers Market. Everything about The Yards of Cameron is designed to serve our youth, local businesses and to introduce visitors to the good news of Cameron.
The Yards of Cameron is a “game changer” for Cameron. This bold project isn’t just about baseball. This is about creating a new economic paradigm for Cameron.
The first field – the home of C.H. Yoe High Baseball – is beautiful and Founders Hall has hosted many community, family and corporate events. The proposed new fields will provide critical exposure for this special community by bringing 400 – 800 visitors to Cameron on each of the spring, summer and fall tournament weekends. These visitors will spend money at hotels, new retail shops and restaurants. Some may become residents and perhaps local business owners. The facilities and tournaments will create jobs through construction, ballpark operations and demand for new businesses.
The Yards of Cameron will support the businesses throughout the city as well as new businesses in the revitalized downtown Cameron offering much needed support for the continued restoration of historic downtown Cameron.
These facilities make a bold statement that Cameron is focused on the future
We believe God has put us here for such a time as this. We can change the economic future of countless local families and improve the quality of lief. We have such a great opportunity to do something extraordinary together! Cameron is building for the future.
