Attention Webber Basketball Campers. We are still accepting and encouraging registration to the camps. There is an adjustment we need to make. Both camps will be have to be held in the Grade School Gym (farthest west gym of the 3), not the HS Gym as planned. This is due to unforseen changes in gym maintenance plans. Camps are STILL ON just in new venue. We have decided to modify the charge for camp attendance to $30, Those paying today or after will be charged that. Those that have paid prior to today shall receive a refund of $10. It is still $5 more to register at door. We still need a minimum of 15 boys per age group and 10 girls per age group to hold our camps. Sorry the inconvenience but it can be helped.
The HS Gym will be shut down completely for the month of July starting July 10.
