ALBANY, GA -- After accomplishing the dream of winning an Olympic gold medal, Darton College Basketball coach Lea Henry always dreamed about creating a basketball camp.

Coincidentally, it was that 1984 USA Olympic run that started the Camp of Champs for Coach Henry.

Now in its 27^th summer, Coach Henry’s camp continues to teach kids from 5 to 18 the fundamentals and skills of basketball.

This week's camp at the Deerfield-Windsor school opened Tuesday and concludes Friday clinging to the same, simple ideals of the game.

“(Basketball camps) were a chance to just play and have fun, meet new people and just get better at the game. I always said that as soon as I finished playing…that I wanted to start a camp, so the Camp of Champs started 28 years ago,” Henry said.

The summer has only begun for Coach Henry- many more camps are on the way.

The Darton College Summer Camp tips off July 23 through July 26. The four-day camp opens at Cavalier Arena for kids of all ages. Registration costs $150.
