The camp features an all-skills camp for boys and girls entering second through fourth grades from 9-11:15 a.m., a specialty shooting camp for students entering second through eighth grades from 11:30 to 1 p.m.; and an all-skills camp for students in fifth through eighth grades from 1:15-3:30 p.m.

The camps are coordinated and taught by members of the MCC basketball coaching staff. ScotStars camps are held in the newly-renovated and air-conditioned MCC Tartan Gym in Building, A, located at 8900 U.S. Hwy. 14 in Crystal Lake.

Participants will receive an MCC ScotStars camp T-shirt, a group photo and a certificate of completion, all included in the registration fee. Campers will be grouped by age and/or ability whenever feasible. The camp provides instruction as well as valuable evaluation and review. Participants will learn age-appropriate skills, mental aspects, strategy, improve self-confidence, ability and enjoyment, make new friends and appreciate the positive aspects of basketball, under the guidance of college coaches, all in a quality collegiate environment, that’s educational, affordable and close to home.

Parents and campers should arrive 15-20 minutes early on the first day of camp (Monday, June 16) to receive orientation information and to fill out a required parental waiver form.
