The camp is intended for players of all skill levels with the minimum requirements of a basic understanding of tennis rules and strokes.

Basketball Camp Grades 4-8

Legendary Boothbay Region High School varsity boys’ coach I.J. Pinkham is back for another year of “hoop camp” at the YMCA. Fundamental skills are emphasized through skill drills, contests and game situations. Work hard each day and you might be up for the Camper of the Day award. Or maybe you win that day’s knockout game…or maybe you tower above the rest at the free throw line. Campers will swim daily from 3-4 p.m., so be sure to pack a bathing suit and towel along with a lunch.

Dates: Aug 4 - 8

Time: 9:00 am- 4:00 pm
