Just Skills will hold a Summer Day Camp program which will start in June at both Bogan and Lenora Park Gyms.  We have attached a Gwinnett County approved file in pdf format hoping that you will make this available to parents.  We are associated with Gwinnett County Department of Parks and Recreation and have held basketball camps and training consistently at these two locations for 8 years. We have several 5-day Camp offerings from 9 am-4 pm.
The camp is open for children ages 7-16. For a full schedule and registration, you may visit: www.JustSkillsofAtlanta.com. We combine basketball skills with life skills. Our training takes place at both Lenora Gym in Lenora Park, Snellville and Bogan Gym in Bogan Park, Buford GA. Many parents whose child has attended one or more of our programs have felt that their child has gain more confidence and sense of achievement both in basketball and life skills in a fun environment.
