The cost of attending either morning or afternoon is $65, but there is a $5 discount for early registration (by June 25). The fee includes a camp T-shirt.

“Champion Skills Camp was created … in an effort to give an opportunity to young athletes in the Surry County area,” said T.C. Gammons, the former Gentry Middle School coach who started the camp with Lee Martin, a current Catawba College player.

“Not only will the athletes learn about the fundamentals of basketball, they will also learn qualities including leadership, teamwork and what it takes to succeed at the next level,” Gammons said.

“One unique aspect of this camp is the classroom sessions that offer thinking beyond the court,” he said. “Each athlete will be taught reading the defense, changing the angle of a pass, techniques to get open, reading screens, shooting, and much more. This camp is for all levels of athletes who want to learn to play at the best of their abilities.”

The camp will have a snack bar available for campers.
