Advanced Holy Hoops
July 15-20, 2012
"Do I send my child to Basketball Camp or Bible Camp?" This seems to be a choice many families are faced with in our region. Well here at RWBC we say, "Who says you can't have the best of both worlds?"
On the court our head coach Steve Gravalin (State Championship winning former ND High School Coach of the Year and former Assistant Coach at both NDSU and Concordia College) and his son Coach Shawn Gravalin will lead you through drills, and teach you the fundamentals necessary to take your game to the next level. You will also hear a motivational speech from Judy Siegle, author and paralympian (and former RWBC counselor!)
At the camp you will get to experience Bible studies and all the other usual activities Red Willow has to offer. We will have one full day at camp on Monday and will then hit the gym Tuesday - Friday, every morning. There will be a tournament on Friday. Parents and family are welcome and encouraged to come and watch their camper use their new skills. Boys and girls are welcome during both weeks. This is our most popular program; register early to secure your camper a unique experience in spiritual and athletic development!
