Skagit Valley College is hosting its annual Cardinal Hoop Basketball Camps for students from grades 2 through 12. The camps will be held at the Dave DuVall Pavilion, 2405 E College Way, Mount Vernon.

The Youth Camp, which is open to students in grades 2 through 9, will take place from June 19-22, and the Shooting Camp, available to students in grades 7 through 12, will be held from June 26-29.

“We encourage families to take advantage of this opportunity to help their children develop valuable skills on and off the court,” said SVC Athletic Director, Mitch Freeman. “Our coaches and players are committed to creating a positive and fun learning environment for all participants.”

Participants will receive personal instruction from experienced SVC coaches and players, along with opportunities for daily team play. The camp will be directed by Coach Carl Howell, who has more than 25 years of experience at the NCAA Division 1 and 3, National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics, and community college level. Coach Howell has won 419 games in 18 seasons and has a 77 percent winning percentage as a college head coach.

“We are excited to offer this camp to our community’s youth,” said Coach Howell. “It’s a great opportunity for them to learn the fundamentals of basketball while having fun in a supportive environment.”
