Hanover College is preparing to host their 57th annual boys’ summer basketball camps. There will be three sessions of camp for boys this summer:

June 10-13 Skills & Play Day Camp

June 25-27 Post/Perimeter Overnight Camp

July 1-3 Fundamental Skills Overnight Camp

Of note for local boys is the Skills & Play Day Camp. It is open to boys who will be entering grades 3-8 in the fall of 2024 and runs from 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. each day. It would be a great opportunity for SMS boys to work on basketball and also get to experience a college campus. Each day during the lunch break participants will take small “mini-tours” of different parts of campus (dorms, library, science center, etc) so that they can get some exposure to other parts of a college.

Instructors at all the camps will be the Hanover College coaching staff and players.

The camp brochure is pictured below and includes a mail-in registration option. The online registration for all camps can be found here: https://hanoverboysbasketballcamps.ryzerevents.com/

As a reminder, students should only use their school-issued iPad and all of their school accounts for tasks that their teachers assign.

Students should not use their iPad or accounts for chatting via Google docs, searching non-education related terms/phrases, or any other activity that isn't directly related to something that a teacher assigned.

Please be careful when crossing the streets, utilize sidewalks and crosswalks when available, and follow the street crossing signs.
