The camp opportunity gives boys and girls a unique experience to attend basketball camp on one of two of the state’s largest college campuses.

Students statewide are encouraged to apply for one of 50 all-expenses-paid scholarships to attend the Carolina Basketball Camp at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (June 27-30) and the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Academy at North Carolina State University in Raleigh (June 14-17).

At the overnight camps, campers work closely with coaches and players to develop fundamental skills, helping them perform and excel both on and off the court. The Cooperative funds one scholarship to each camp. Last year, we were able to send Kyrin Ford (left) and Rayleigh Arnold (right).

Campers must:

• Be a rising sixth or seventh grader. This means the student should currently be in fifth or sixth grade.
• Attend a school in the Cooperative service area. (Please email connections@sremc.com if you have any questions.)
• Have permission from a parent or guardian to attend. An information sheet must be signed.
• Provide their own transportation to and from camp.
• Winners will attend the camps courtesy of South River EMC.
• Applications are scored on academics, extracurricular activities and essay questions that must accompany the application.
