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

healthy and much more! Field trips are still being evaluated for this sum-
mer but will definitely be limited due to COVID-19. Offsite field trips may

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.
