Head Start Basketball Camp

Head Start Basketball Camps Internship Program

Head Start Basketball is proud to continue our  internship program for the 2020 summer camp season.  Head Start Basketball Camp interns will be a critical part of the camp team.  The internship program is designed to provide an opportunity for interns to grow and learn from experienced Head Start Basketball Camp Staff Members.  The internship program is open to boys and girls entering grades 8 & 9 in the fall of 2020.  After completing the voluntary internship, interns will have the opportunity to apply for a paid Head Start Basketball Camp staff position in the summer prior to their 10th grade year.  Additionally, any intern will receive 50% off their registration fee for Session 3 in Strongsville which is for players currently in grades 4-8.  The goal of this experience is to give our interns the opportunity to develop a working knowledge of the camps while assisting the staff in creating a positive camp environment for the players in attendance. Those student-athletes seeking volunteer hours are encouraged to apply.  Previous attendance as a Head Start Basketball camper is preferred, but not required.

  • Assisting staff with equipment setup
