Ron Palmer Basketball-Academic Camp Returning To Long Beach

The 10th Annual Ron Palmer Summer Basketball and Academic Camp will take place at Long Beach Poly High School beginning July 31 thru August 3, from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., for boys and girls ages eight to 15.

The difference between the Palmer camp and most youth camps is a focus on academics in addition to basketball skills taught by Poly legend Ron Palmer. The camp will feature math and language arts classes in the morning and basketball instruction plus intramural play in the afternoon. Daily lunches, snacks, T-shirts, school supplies, and the Los Angeles Lakers Youth Foundation one day workout clinic are also included in this year’s Camp.

The cost of the Camp is $125; applications are available at smartballsummercamp.com. For more information call camp director Erroll Parker at (562) 477-2976.
