After an absence of several years, basketball camps will return to the Wilburton campus of Eastern Oklahoma State College this summer. The three-day camp sessions will begin on July 27 and end on July 29.

"We look forward to sharing our college and providing a great camping experience for the youth in our area," Eastern Head Basketball Coach Scott Edgar said.

He also said that boys and girls ages 6-17 participating in the camp will receive individual and group instruction on basketball skills, fundamentals and sportsmanship.

Coach Edgar is a 30-year veteran of college basketball. Many of his teams have advanced into the NCAA tournament and almost 20 of his former players have gone on to compete in the NBA.

The camp splits participants by age group. Session A will be for boys and girls ages 6-9 years old and starts at 9 a.m. each day and ends at noon. Session B will be for boys ages 10-12 years and lasts from 1:30-4:30 p.m. each day. Session C will be for boys ages 13-17 years and lasts from 6:00-9:00 p.m. each of the three days.

The $35 cost per camper includes a camp t-shirt. No meals are provided but on-site concessions will be available.

Registration will begin one hour prior to each session's first day. For more information or for registration forms, check Eastern's web site www.eosc.edu under Athletics or call 918-465-1734 or 918-465-1732.
