Dates for 2019 John Calipari Father/Son and Overnight Camps Set

LEXINGTON, Ky. – Registration for two of John Calipari’s most popular camps –the Father/Son Camps and the Overnight Camps – is now open.
 
Similar to previous years, both camps will be split into separate sessions to accommodate for demand. The Father/Son Camps will feature three separate opportunities (June 7-8, June 14-15 and June 28-29) and the Overnight Camps will have two separate sessions (June 16-19 and June 23-26).
 
A limited number of spots for all camps are available and are based on a first-come, first-served basis, with online registration recommended as the fastest and most efficient form of registering campers. The Father/Son and Overnight Camps have sold out every summer during Coach Cal’s tenure at UK, so early registration is encouraged to secure a spot.
 
All camps will be held on the University of Kentucky campus and feature UK’s upgraded dormitory and dining facilities, including new central campus residence halls and “The 90,” UK’s new dining facility. Buses will be provided to transport campers to all of the basketball facilities. Full-time athletic trainers will be stationed at each site throughout the duration of the camp, along with UK basketball staff members in all dorms to accommodate any questions or concerns. It is UK’s goal to ensure a safe and fun environment, which provides all campers the opportunity to maximize their Kentucky basketball experience.
 
Once a camper’s registration is complete, the camper will receive a confirmation email with details of necessary paperwork needed (physical, insurance), along with a list of items campers will need to 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 or by email at ukmbbcamps@uky.edu.

Traditionally UK’s most popular camp, this year’s father and son participants will be treated to instruction from the Kentucky coaches and staff, along with current Wildcat players through detailed skill work and competitions in the Joe Craft Center, Memorial Coliseum, Seaton Center and the Johnson Center. Father and son teams will compete with fellow campers of appropriate age groups (based on son’s age/grade level) in competitions that incorporate skills learned throughout the camp. The skill work is designed to give both father and son drills and techniques to take home and continue working on together.
