The Girls Youth Volleyball Camp, running June 22 and June 23, is designed specifically for girls in fifth through eighth grade. This targeted camp helps players elevate their game by mastering the core fundamentals of passing, setting, serving, and hitting. The cost to attend is $55, and volleyball campers will receive guided instruction directly from Waubonsee's collegiate volleyball coaches and staff.
A high-energy Youth Cheer Camp will run June 24 and June 25 from 9 a.m. to noon.
