Basketball School of Sandpoint will further its mission to provide the right mix of skill development and fun this summer, as the organization hosts two co-ed, five-day camps in July.

The camps are set to take place Monday, July 24-Friday, July 28 at Kootenai Elementary School, featuring two daily time slots for two age groups. While boys and girls ages 7-9 will take the court 9 a.m.-noon, kids ages 10-16 will play from 1 p.m.-4 p.m.

According to camp organizers, Basketball School of Sandpoint camps emphasize a combination of fundamental skill building with fun and competition. Athletes will work on ball handling, passing, shooting, rebounding and defensive skills, while also being given the chance to compete in games and tournaments.

All participants will receive a BSS T-shirt, and championship trophies will also be up for grabs on the last day of camp.

The cost for the five-day camp is $110 for a single player, $210 for a pair of siblings and $310 for a trio of siblings.
