Union Power is now accepting applications from rising sixth- and seventh-graders to attend basketball camp at two North Carolina universities this summer. Union Power will select one girl to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball camp at NC State in Raleigh from June 16-19. The chosen boy will attend the Carolina Basketball School at the UNC-Chapel Hill from June 22-26.

The two chosen students selected for the scholarships will be covered with overnight camp expenses, experience life on a college campus, and practice drills with NCAA coaches and athletes. Beyond the physical benefits of playing sports, campers will gain skills that will develop their character and help them excel on and off the court, like working as a team and connecting with new friends.

Middle school students from Union Power’s five-county territory can apply to attend the Touchstone Energy’s basketball camp at union-power.com by March 31. All applicants will be judged by an outside committee based on their academics, extracurricular activities, and two short essays. Also, the applicant must have a parent or guardian’s signature on the application. The two students selected for the scholarship are only responsible for transportation to and from camp.
