LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — SUNY Sullivan will hold its annual Boys and Girls Basketball Camp, designed to help young athletes ages 7-17 develop fundamental skills and a comprehensive understanding of the game. The camp will run from August 11 to August 15 at the SUNY Sullivan campus in Loch Sheldrake. A discounted rate is available for  registrations received by August 4.

The Sullivan Generals Basketball Camp is rooted in a philosophy of skill development, offering individualized instruction, drills, lectures and games to improve each camper's abilities. The Generals coaching staff, along with some of the area's top coaches and players, will cover essential fundamentals such as passing, dribbling and shooting, as well as offensive and defensive strategies for both individual play and team dynamics.

"Our goal is to create an exciting and enriching learning experience for every participant," said SUNY Sullivan Director of Athletics Simon Clement. "We're dedicated to fostering a love for the game while building strong foundational skills that will benefit these young athletes in the future.”

The camp runs Monday through Thursday from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.; early drop-off at 8:30 a.m. and late pick-up until 4 p.m. are available. Friday's session concludes at 12 p.m. The camp fee is $200 per camper, with a discounted rate of $175 for early applications as above.

Additional discounts are offered for SUNY Sullivan employees, multiple children from the same family, and groups. A limit of one discount per family applies.

Campers are responsible for bringing their own lunches and drinks, though packaged snacks will be available for purchase. All campers must be covered by health insurance, and a signed parental consent form for emergency treatment is required.
