Basketball Camps were held at Traverse City Christian School this summer in June. Players of all levels and experience worked on the fundamental skills of basketball to improve conditioning, shooting, ball handling, passing, and footwork.

Session I was held June 22-24 and Session II was held June 29-July 1.

The Sabres will host similar camps next summer.
