The NC State Wolfpack Women’s Basketball program has enjoyed a great relationship with North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives for more than 20 years. Their sports camp scholarship program has made it possible for more than 25 middle school girls to attend our basketball camp each year. The experience of being an overnight camper not only maximizes the basketball experience but also gives them a glimpse into life on a college campus.

While I admit we’re not going to make an individual a great player in just a few days of camp, I do believe we can lay a foundation and a spark that will fuel future growth in the game of basketball and in life. Our coaches and players work with them on the fundamentals of the game, but also share their journeys and experiences that brought them success at a high level here at State.

We can help young girls from across the state attend our camp and discover their true potential on and off the court.

Because of this partnership with North Carolina’s 26 electric co-ops, we can help young girls from across the state attend our camp and discover their true potential on and off the court. We’ve had many success stories of former campers making and excelling on their middle and high school teams. We’ve even had many alumni campers receive college scholarships and perform at the highest level in Division I programs. Then, once the ball stops bouncing, these young ladies often return to their communities as strong, educated leaders.

We’re excited to welcome a new class of extraordinary students to our camp this summer. Athletic skill and potential are not bound by where you live, what school you attend, or your family background. Thanks to North Carolina’s Electric Cooperatives, we can help girls from all over the state attend our camp and discover their true potential in basketball and in life.
