A basketball camp is taking place at Nipissing University this week for kids aged 7-13.

 

It’s being run by Lakers Basketball Coaches Chris Cheng and Marg Jones and it’s all about learning the fundamentals and basic skills of basketball.

 

Men’s Head Coach Chris Cheng says it also gets the Lakers student athletes involved.

 

 

They had previously held a camp in the summer and Cheng says it’s great to see some returning faces, and some new comers.

 

He adds it’s important for kids to get involved in multiple sports at a young age.

 

 

Cheng says they are getting great feedback from the parents as well and hope to continue growing the program over the years. He says they are planning for another summer basketball camp once school is out for the year.
