For more information, visit us at www.wilmingtonfamilyymca.org /camp/summer-camp

YOU’RE IN GOOD HANDS Staff, as role models, are selected for sound judgment, maturity, experience, enthusiasm, and creativity. All staff is interviewed and goes through a complete background check prior to being hired. Training occurs before and throughout the summer to ensure attention to detail. All staff is certified in CPR & First Aid.

All of our camps focus on encouraging character development through care, honesty, respect, responsibility, and faith. Regardless of which camp you choose, you can be sure that the camp staff is committed to developing these traits.

Our average staff to student ratio is 1:10. By selecting a YMCA camp, you are investing in a safe, fun, and memorable experience for your child.

LUNCH & SNACKS Full-Day campers are provided with free breakfast, lunch and snack each day while half-day campers will be provided with snacks. Children are welcome to bring their own snacks and lunch if they’d like! Parents will be asked to specify if their child has any food allergies during registration.

FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE At the Y, we think summer fun, new friends, positive role models and great times should be available to every child. If your family needs a little help to make camp a reality, summer camp scholarships are available and are kept completely confidential.

Funds are made possible because of generous donations made through our Annual Giving Campaign. You can help send a child to camp by visiting our website and making a tax-deductible online gift or by submitting a donation to our Membership Desk.

REGISTRATION Registration is now open! Camps do fill up and we recommend you sign up early and pay the non-refundable, non-transferrable $10 deposits for each camp week you know your child will be attending in order to reserve a spot. There is a one-time $35 registration fee for most camps due at the time of registration. The balance for each week will be due the Wednesday before camp week begins which is also when registration closes.

WILMINGTON BASKETBALL CENTER

HALO HOOPS BASKETBALL CAMPS Halo Hoops mission is to encourage and improve youth through sports. We’re passionate about giving kids a positive experience where they grow as a player and as a person, and have a fun time! We do that by providing high quality instruction, surrounding them with positive role models and encouraging them to play on a team with their friends.

As a sports ministry, we partner with like-minded people, churches and community organizations who help provide gym space, staff and service support for the many programs held throughout the year.

This year we are providing three summer camps in the Wilmington area. Two are held at the Wilmington Basketball Center and another at the Midtown YMCA. Please refer to the Midtown YMCA camp pages for information on that specific camp.

MEET THE COACHES Dave and Leslie Davies met in 1997 while playing for Athletes in Action. They started dreaming about running a similar organization that would combine their passion for kids and basketball. Over the next ten years, they coached together in the US and Australia, and developed the Halo Hoops Summer Camps. In 2004, they headed to basketball country, settling in Wilmington, NC to build Halo Hoops as a non-profit organization with year-round programs. The Davies have four sons, ages 6 to 15.
