Coming up on June 10 is the PJC Men’s Basketball Dragons All-American Boys Basketball Camp starting Monday, June 10 and running through Thursday, June 13, 2024. Registration will be open at 8:00 a.m. Monday morning, and the camp runs daily from 9:00 a.m. to 3 p.m.

“This is for boys in first through ninth grades,” said PJC Men’s Basketball Coach Bill Foy “We promise a week full of basketball and fun.”

Each camper will receive a camp t-Shirt and camp basketball, lunch will be provided in the Paris Junior College Cafeteria, and concessions will be available.

The camp’s daily focus will be on skill development, stations and drills, and fun contests and games. Awards will be given as well. Camp instructors will include PJC coaching staff and high school coaches.

Women’s Basketball offering two camps June 17-20

PJC Women’s Basketball is hosting a Day Camp, June 17-19, and an Elite Camp on June 20, in the Hunt Center at the Paris campus.

“We’re really excited to host another round of camps this summer,” said PJC Women’s Basketball Coach Brittany Christian. “The community has supported our day camp very well over the past few years and we enjoy spending time working with the young ladies that attend.”

The Day Camp will run from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily, and is for ages six to 16. The camp costs $125 and those wishing to sign up should contact Christian at bchristian@parisjc.edu.

“The addition of the elite camp this year gives our high school participants a chance to experience a more intensive experience that mimics a typical day working out at the collegiate level. We want to continue developing and educating our local athletes while also building relationships with them and watching their growth.”

The Elite Camp is for grades ninth through twelfth, costs $60, and will be held from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. For more information or to register, contact Women’s Assistant Basketball Coach Tee Robinson at trobinson@parisjc.edu.
