Camp Information

Father and Son Basketball Camps

 

The purpose of this camp is to provide fathers and guardians a time to spend with their sons in a setting that allows them quality time without the disruptions of home.  The camp is designed to teach fundamentals of basketball to the sons and to give the fathers a chance to participate in these teaching techniques.  The camp will provide for "time-out" sessions for Bible study, guest speakers, chapel time for worship and free time to swim, play frisbee, or just be together.  The goal of the camp is to bring fathers and their sons into a life-changing relationship that will last forever.

Any son who is in the first through eighth grade is eligible to attend camp.  Any father who can tie on a pair of tennis shoes and pick up a basketball is eligible for camp.  The skill levels are not important as our goal is to teach the fundamentals of the game.  Students will be divided into groups of similar age and ability.

The camps will be held at Goshen College and Ohio Wesleyan University.  Beginning on Friday evening and running through Sunday afternoon, the camp is designed so that the fathers will miss a minimum of work.  Each father and son will be housed in a private dorm room in a dorm near the Gymnasium.  The swimming pool, the game room and the athletic fields will all be available for use during the camp.  Meals are provided on campus by food services at the university.

Tuition for the camp is $350 for a father and a son.  An additional son may attend for a cost of $100.  Price includes housing, meals, t-shirts and a basketball.  A $100 deposit is requested when you apply.
