Sankanac’s Basketball Camp can’t get here soon enough!

Campers will have an opportunity to compete against regular overnight campers. So get ready to play some hoops!

They will also enjoy the best of Sankanac… pool, Trading Post, dynamic Bible study, and more!

Campers will stay in our Parker House facility here on the camp property which is within walking distance of the dining hall, main camp activities and our brand new gymnasium. We’ll use the gymnasium for the majority of our basketball programming, but will also use the outdoor court at times.

Programming

Although this is a program of Camp Sankanac, it is a specialty camp and will have a different schedule from our regular programs. The Parker House, where the campers will stay, is separate from the regular camp. This basketball-focused program will offer some free time in the afternoon where campers can visit the Trading Post (our camp store), swim, use the boats, and a variety of other activities at Camp Sankanac.

Mr. Dave’s Bio

Basketball Camp will be directed by Sankanac staffer, Dave Stallard. As a student at Baptist Bible College, Dave was a

two-time all American and scored over 1000 points in his college career.  BBC’s team record Dave’s senior year was 24-6 and they won the NCCAAII East Regional Championship. They went to the NCCAAII National Championship and lost at the buzzer with a close finish. In the NEAC they finished 2nd place in the regular season.

Just out of college, Dave was offered a position on a professional basketball team in Germany but gave up the opportunity to follow the Lord’s leading by moving here to Camp Sankanac in 2007.

Dave and his wife, Brielle (Sankanac office manager/registrar) have been serving the Lord at Camp Sankanac since 2007. Dave is really looking forward to camp and hopes that many of the guys he’s played ball with on the Sankanac court will come out for camp!

Attention all boys and girls ages 7-16!! These all boy and all girl camps have been running since 1941 and offer a unique camp experience! Come join us for a great week of activities, outdoor adventures, and learning more about God. Camp Sankanac runs four weeks of boys’ camp (June-July) and four weeks of girls’ camp (July-August). From creek stomping to hilarious skits, to cooking over a fire, to paintball and arrow tag, to tubing, to braving our mountain-sized water slide you don’t want to miss the outdoor adventures that await during our four weeks of boys’ or girls’ camp.

Each week of camp is tied to a different theme. The purpose of our weekly theme is to add a fun twist to the regular camp daily schedule. The themes play out primarily in our evening activity and in mealtime skits during the week. The rest of our camp day is largely the same every week. In the morning, campers have Bible and elective classes. In the afternoon, campers have rest time, free time, and activity time with their own cabin. After the evening meal, campers participate in a large group game or activity that is tied to the weekly theme and then they end the day with a chapel service.
