Full-Week, Half-Day Specialty Sport Camp 2008

 

July 21 to August 1

 

This year’s camps include:

 

Basketball Camps

 

Dewey Burke Basketball Camp

Sky High Basketball Camp

 

DEWEY BURKE BASKETBALL CAMP

 

Under the direction of former University of North Carolina Tar Heel and Conestoga graduate Dewey Burke, we celebrate the 2008 Dewey Burke Skill Development Camp. In our second year of existence, our two simple goals remain the same. The first goal is for the camper to have a positive and enjoyable camp experience. The second goal is for the camper to improve as a basketball player.

 

The way you improve your game is simple; you must get in the gym and put it the time necessary to refine and improve your offensive, defensive and all-around skill sets. Campers are exposed to an unmatched resource. A member of the 2007 North Carolina basketball team that was the ACC Regular Season and ACC Tournament Champion as well as the #1 seed in the East Regional of the NCAA Tournament, Camp Director Dewey Burke learned a tremendous amount playing for Hall Of Fame coach Roy Williams.

 

As a member of the Carolina Basketball Team and Family for 4 years, the experiences and lessons Burke can impart are invaluable. The individual drills you will learn come directly from the workouts Burke did as a member of the Tar Heels, as they were taught by Williams and fellow Hall of Fame Coach, Dean Smith.

 

Make no mistake; this is not your average camp. Campers will work hard for 3 hours each day, and receive excellent instruction they can take with them.

 

When:

July 21-24, 2008 (Boys & Girls ages 12-18)

July 28-31, 2008 (Boys & Girls ages 12-18)

Monday-Thursday, 2p.m.-5p.m.

SKY HIGH BASKETBALL CAMP

Sky HIgh Basketball Camp will enter its 8th year in 2008. With camps designed for both boys and girls, the success of our camp is predicated on our staff. We truly believe a camp can only be as good as the people working it. Therefore, we take pride in the excellence of our counselors and the quality of the instruction we give. Our staff members are not simply great players, they are great teachers of the game with strong character and a sincere interest in helping young players learn the greatest game ever invented!

 

The Sky High Basketball Camp is an instructional camp designed to reinforce the fundamentals of the game with an emphasis on improving individual skills.

 

Particular emphasis will be placed on individual defense, individual offense, shooting technique and team strategy. Campers thrive in our friendly environment, and through specific feedback and individual attention, campers benefit from our talented and enthusiastic staff.

 

A variety of activities including station drills, structured games, contests, competitions, and guest speakers will give each camper an opportunity to become a smarter, more talented player.
