LEXINGTON, Ky. – The University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball program is pleased to announce the dates and information for the 2013 John Calipari Overnight Camp.
To register as an overnight camper and stay in a dorm room for this year’s Overnight Camp, participants MUST be 12 years of age prior to the first day of camp (6/16/13). Campers below the age of 12 MUST register and participate as a Day Camper/Commuter. No exceptions, per University of Kentucky Athletics Department policy.
Limited number of spots available for all camps and are based on a first-come, first-serve basis, with online registration recommended as the fastest and most efficient form of registering campers. All previously listed were SOLD OUT the last two summers, so early registration is encouraged to secure a spot.
The Coach Calipari Overnight Basketball Camp is scheduled for June 16-19 (Sunday to Wednesday) and is open to boys ages 7-17. This camp offers four days of skills training, team games, individual competitions and a division tournament. Campers will be pre-assigned to appropriate age/grade level divisions in which all skills work, competitions and games will take place. Skills work will be taught by UK coaches and staff, along with current and former Wildcat players. Each camper will be assigned a team within their respective age groups. Complete camp itineraries, gym schedules, and Day Camper drop-off and pick-up information will be included in the confirmation email sent to parents prior to the start of camp. Parents are encouraged to visit any of the gym sites to watch their children participate in camp activities.

Overnight Camper registration will be from 1-4 p.m.
Day camper registration will be held at a separate location within the Common’s Market from 3-4 p.m.
All camp facilities, including dorms, dining, parking, camp store and gyms, will be clearly marked with signs once parents and campers enter any of the University of Kentucky campus entrances. For those who may miss the scheduled registration, we will have staff members available after camp activities begin to complete your check in at the Kirwan-Blanding Dorm Complex.
The cookout for campers only will take place from 3-5 p.m. on the first floor of the Common’s Market, and camp activities will begin at 5:30 p.m. in the Seaton Center located directly across the street. Campers will be escorted by UK Camp staff to the Seaton Center for the beginning of camp activities. Camp will conclude with the awards ceremony on Wednesday June 19 at 4 p.m. in the Seaton Center. Dorm checkout for campers 12 years old and above will be immediately following the awards ceremony. Parents and campers will check out of their room by returning keys to the front desk located on the first floor of their dorm building, and will then receive a checkout slip to be presented to the camp checkout on the third floor of the Common’s Market to receive their original key deposit.
Once your camp registration is complete you will receive a confirmation email, with details of necessary paper work needed (physical, insurance, and consent), along with a list of items campers will need bring for camp. Any camp related questions can be called into the men’s basketball camp line at 859-257-9457 or 859-257-1916.
