First . . . and still best!
Grades 4-12

June 22-25; July 6-9; July 20-23; July 27-30, 2008

FOUNDED BY former Wooster Coach Al Van Wie, Camp Fighting Scot was the first Ohio basketball camp of its kind and after 38 years, it is still considered one of the best.

Individual Instruction

Making sure every young man receives individual instruction is the main goal of our camp. With a ratio of one coach for every seven campers, individual attention is assured.

Shooting Instruction

Several staff members at Camp Fighting Scot have outstanding expertise in giving shooting instruction. Many hours are spent working individually with campers on their shooting technique.

Experienced Staff

The staff is composed of high school and college coaches who have proven their ability to teach. These men place great emphasis on the highest principles of athletics. Outstanding college players will serve as camp counselors.

Outstanding Facilities

The Armington Physical Education Center, with four full-size college courts, is the focal point for training. Meals and recreation revolve around the adjacent Lowry Center, and the pool in the Physical Education Center is available to the campers.

Camp Fighting Scot provides the atmosphere where a young man can receive excellent instruction, proper supervision and enjoy the fellowship of other young men who want to learn more about basketball. CAMPERS ARE SEPARATED BY GRADE LEVEL FOR TEACHING AND COMPETITION.

Grades Levels

Sessions at Camp Fighting Scot are open to young men who will begin grades 4-12 in 2008. There will be four sessions beginning June 22.

Registration and Check-Out

Final registration is held between 1:00 and 2:45 p.m. on the Sunday beginning the week at Camp. Check in at the Armington Physical Education Center on The College of Wooster campus. Camp will end Wednesday at 5:00 p.m.

Dorm Room Change

Due to College housing policy, we have only a limited number of triple rooms available. The majority of rooms will be doubles. Some singles will be available. Campers will be placed in adjacent rooms to friends upon request. ROOM ASSIGNMENTS WILL BE MADE AT SUNDAY CHECK-IN.

Fee

The fee for one session at Camp Fighting Scot is $390. This covers everything except the individual’s spending money. A deposit of $200 must accompany the registration form. If we are informed of cancellation 7 days prior to the beginning of camp, we will refund the deposit minus a $25.00 processing fee. The balance is to be paid on the first day of camp.

Equipment

Upon registration, each camper will be provided with a Camp Fighting Scot tee shirt. The camper should bring his own basketball shoes, socks, etc. Please make sure these items are labeled. Each person should also bring his own sheets, a light blanket and pillow, plus informal clothes.

Medical Facilities

A full-time trainer is on duty throughout each session. In addition, the medical facilities of the Wooster Community Hospital are within one mile of the College campus in case of any emergency.

A Busy Schedule

Activity begins at 8:20 a.m. The morning sessions emphasize individual and team offensive techniques. After lunch the emphasis shifts to defensive skills. During free time, the camper can take advantage of the College’s facilities for swimming, bowling, and pool, or just relax, or maybe write home. There is league play in the evening. Each camper is assigned to a team by his ability, age, and size. There are awards for the league champions. Before lights out, everyone has the chance to discuss his strengths and weaknesses with the counselors and coaches in the dorm.

A word about food…both quality and quantity are accented at the Camp Fighting Scot training table. Every camper gets as much food to eat as he wants.

The daily schedule is extremely flexible. Since we are primarily interested in what is best for the individual, the agenda will be adjusted to suit each camper’s needs. For instance, the younger boys will not be required to complete the same syllabus as the older players.
