Skagit Valley College is hosting its annual Cardinal Hoop Basketball Camp for students in grades 2 through 8. The camps will be held at the Dave DuVall Pavilion, 2405 E College Way, Mount Vernon.
The basketball camp will take place June 23-25 from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. and costs $125.
“We’re excited to invite families to take part in this opportunity that helps kids build important skills both on and off the court,” said Mitch Freeman, SVC athletic director. “Our coaches and players are passionate about creating a fun, supportive environment where every participant can learn, grow, and enjoy the game.”
Participants will learn concepts of offense and defense as well as individual skill work. They will also get to play as a team and do daily drills.
The camp will be directed by SVC head basketball coach Carl Howell, who has more than 30 years of experience at the NCAA Division 1 and 3, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and community college level. Howell led the Cardinals to a Region championship and a 28-2 record this past season has a record of 490-141 in 21 seasons and has a 77 percent winning percentage as a college head coach.
“We’re thrilled to bring this camp again to the youth in our community,” said Howell. “It’s a fantastic chance for them to pick up the fundamentals of basketball, stay active, and have a great time in a positive, encouraging setting.”
