Cougar Basketball Camps

BOYS - June 19-23, 2011

GIRLS - June 26-30, 2011

Camp Mission

The mission of the Cougar Basketball Camps is to provide the highest quality basketball instruction in a distinctly Christian environment. Camp sessions will focus on individual and team fundamentals including ball handling, passing and catching, shooting, post and perimeter moves, rebounding, court spacing, fast break situations, and individual and team defense and offense. Campers will participate in league games throughout the week and a double-elimination tournament at the end camp. In addition, devotional times will be an integral part of the camp.

Age Limits

Athletes from ages 8-17 are eligible to attend. For instruction and competition, campers are separated into age and ability. The camp accepts students of any race, color, or ethnic origin.

What to Bring

Overnight campers: bedding, pillow, towels, toiletries, water bottle, flip-flops, and as much basketball gear (tshirts, socks, modest shorts, etc.) as possible. Please do not bring excessive amounts of cash or valuables such as jewelry and CD/MP3 players. Label all personal items.

Awards Ceremony

Parents are encouraged to attend the closing ceremony on Thursday at 1:00 p.m. in the gymnasium.

Transportation

If your camper is arriving by bus or plane, transportation will be provided to and from the camp. However, we must know the time and place of your camper's arrival at least one week prior to camp.

Cougar Spotlight

God has given me the opportunity to play both basketball and volleyball here at CCC, and I am so thankful! The girls I've had the privilege to play sports with are my closest friends. Every day before practice, we share prayer requests, praises, or a passage from God's Word. It's awesome being challenged by my own teammates to grow more Christ-like through playing basketball and volleyball. I will never forget the memories I've made and the blessings I've received while playing sports.
