PUEBLO, Colo., (May 29, 2008) - The Colorado State University-Pueblo Men's Basketball program will be holding its overnight summer basketball camp from June 15-19 at Massari Arena on the CSU-Pueblo campus.

The camp, open to boys ages 7-18, will allow campers to drill and compete within their age groups in various skill competitions such as dribbling, passing, shooting and defense, as well as learning the importance of team play. The camp will also focus on individual improvement and reinforce the individual skills with game play. In addition, multiple clinics will take place covering a variety of fundamental skills to help players reach their potential.

Three daily meals are provided for boarders. A noon meal is provided for all campers (except Thursday). The noon meal is served buffet style. All boarders are housed in the dormitory in a safe and secure environment.  Campers are asked to bring their own toiletries, sheets and pillow or sleeping bag with enough clothing to last the week.

The cost of the four-day camp is $285 per overnight camper and $195 per commuter camper.  The registration deadline is June 6, with a $15 late fee being assessed for registrations after the deadline.

Also offered is a day camp from June 30 to July 3, open for K-12 students.  The registration deadline for that camp is June 20.
