- Weekend Player/Parent Camp
Every summer we hear from parents who
say that camp looks like great fun, and why don't we have a camp for
parents. We have done something about it -- we now offer a two-day,
one night weekend camp for parents and children. It has been fun and
exciting for both the players and their parents, and we look forward
to doing it again this summer. The camp is for children ages four
through eight years and either one or both parents.
The program will include an
introduction to the basics of basketball, with practice tips,
contests, and games designed to give the young "hoopster" an enjoyable
and rewarding experience. The adults attending will take part in the
program with their children, learning ways to make basketball fun and
how to gain a feeling of success and accomplishment through athletics.
The players and parents will stay
together in the college dormitory and eat all meals in the college
cafeteria. In addition, an Olympic size pool and other college
recreational facilities will be available. Come prepared for an
informative and FUN weekend.
