Theres So Much To Do!

Your child will be in the supportive hands of the Marietta College Men’s Basketball Coaching Staff, players, training staff as well the best high school coaches from around the area. This will ensure your child will grow and develop in an environment conducive to not only learning, but also fun.

We have developed some new intricacies this year to better our camps. One example of this is our new camp blog. Our coaching staff will update the blog everyday and will have a multitude of features to keep you updated with pictures and entries about the day’s events. An itinerary for each day, as well a camper of the day, and daily photos are a few of the applications you can expect

The final day of camp will consist of 5 on 5 tournament games, 3 on 3 tournament games, as well as Hot Shot, Pig, 1 on 1, and Free Throw finals. This is an opportunity for you, as a parent to witness first hand the growth and progress your child has made.

If you have any questions regarding the camp or your child, please feel free to contact our basketball staff at (740) 376-4612 or Jon.VanderWal@marietta.edu. Thank you for your support and Go Pioneers.
