The Big Horn Basin youth basketball camp is set to kick off at Powell High School starting Monday morning and running through Thursday, with the camp hosted by Powell High School girls’ basketball coach Chelsea Kistler and Northwest College women’s basketball coach Cody Helenbolt.

As opposed to camps from years’ past, this time participants of all ages will be welcome to attend, with two different sessions taking place each day depending on age.

Players in kindergarten through fourth grade will attend between 8-10 a.m. each day while fifth-eighth graders will attend from 10 a.m. until noon.

“The main goal is just to get kids in there working on skills and continue to grow their love for the game,” Kistler said. “This is the first time allowing kids all the way down to kindergarten … We want to build relationships and help kids continue to grow.”

Kistler said that the camp is open to anybody in the area who is interested to attend, boys as well as girls can attend.

The camp will feature a number of opportunities to improve skills, while also providing a competitive atmosphere with competitions in areas including shooting, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 drills with some prizes including medals and trophies for the winners.

Players will get the chance to interact with and learn from Helenbolt, who coached the Douglas girls to seven state championships including six straight before joining the Trappers, along with Kistler who has helped the Panthers grow in recent years and make the state tournament the past three years.

“It will be fun to get to work alongside Cody and pick his brain a little bit,” Kistler said. “We just want them (the kids) to love the game as much as Cody and I do.”

Campers can sign up the day of the camp and the cost is $50 for all four days.
