It’s also open to all schools, so whether you're a returning Howe Lion or just love the game, we welcome you to join us! Campers will receive quality instruction from Head Coach Britt Brown, Assistant Coach Josiah Mitchell, along with incredible support from special volunteers from the Howe Lions. Together, we’ll focus on individual skill development, including ball-handling, shooting, defense, footwork, and team fundamentals. These are the same drills and techniques used by our high school athletes that are broken down in a way that's fun, engaging, and age-appropriate. But this camp is more than just basketball, it's about building confidence, leadership, teamwork, and friendships. Whether your child is brand new to the game or preparing for junior high or high school competition, this camp is a great way to grow their game and love for basketball. A concession stand will be available, so campers can grab snacks and drinks throughout the morning. For questions or additional information, please contact Coach Britt Brown at 918-658-5200. To receive important updates and announcements about camp, be sure to join our Remind group by texting @howebas to 81010. We'll send reminders and info as the camp approaches.
