WELCOME!
SUMMER CAMP 2021

           MORE THAN JUST A
           CAMP
           At the Y, we believe all kids deserve the opportunity to
           discover who they are, and what they can achieve. Summer Camp
           at the Y provides kids with supervised activities that cultivate
           values, develop skills and nurture relationships. Our camps include
           programs where children learn by using technology, hands on
           experience, being active and socializing with peers.

           Enroll your child in a Y summer camp today! They will make new
           friends, go on field trips, swim, laugh, learn, play and make lifelong
           memories. Browse our guide to learn more about our day, over-
           night, sports, and specialty camps! For more information, visit us

YOUTH DAY CAMP
Every summer we offer new experiences and activities for hundreds of
young people. The Y’s Youth Day Camp offers a classic summer camp
experience filled with a wide array of activities in which your child can
excel in. Each week is based on a theme, but regardless of the week,
children will learn new sports and games, create arts and crafts, develop
good sportsmanship, be a part of a team, build new friendships, swim
each day, learn to be healthy and much more! Field trips are still being
evaluated for this summer but will definitely be limited due to COVID-
19. Offsite field trips may include opportunities such as swimming at
our local city pools and splash pads, visiting our local parks, bowling,
water parks, the aquarium, and more! All field trips, important infor-
mation, and updates will be communicated through weekly emails. Par-          LEADERS IN TRAINING DAY CAMP

SPORTS 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.

HALO HOOPS BASKETBALL CAMP SESSION #1
With Halo Hoops, every basketball experience is an opportunity to
learn life lessons and go beyond the game. We’ll teach basic the
Basketball fundamentals in a fun and encouraging environment. This
camp is great for beginner and intermediate players.
