Do you have youngsters who are interested in basketball? On July 12-14, the Seth Vining Jr. Foundation will be co-sponsoring a shooting camp for students, grades 1-12, at the Polk County High School Gymnasium.

Costs are very reasonable for the camp. Families with more than one student will receive a fee discount.

This summer the camp will be under the direction of Josh McEntire, varsity boys head basketball coach. They will be joined by Craig Culbreth, Michelle Fagan, Chauncey Barber and a host of volunteer coaches.

We feel like our camp will be instructive for everyone, said Josh McEntire, camp director. The camp will be structured just like last years camp.

Elementary students (grades 1-6) will go to camp from 9 a.m. until noon. Middle-school students (grades 6-8) will meet in the afternoon from 1 until 4. High school students (grades 9-12) will go from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m.

For a registration form or more information, contact McEntire at (828) 699-8159.
