If your kids are already getting stir crazy and restless this summer, we have the solution. Many of the camps are offered by our Athletic Department in a variety of sports including men's and women's basketball, baseball, softball, volleyball, tennis and soccer. Our Battling Bishop coaches and players provide instruction for all skill levels, beginner to advanced. In addition, our campus will host other camps from groups around the state including United Pentecostal Church International Youth Camp, United Methodist Church Breakaway, Cary Christian Football Camp and Athens Drive Band Camp returning for their 27th year.
