Good Afternoon CuCPS Familes. The following is a message from Hampden Sydney College regarding the summer basketball camp being hosted at Cumberland High School-- We hope the summer is treating you well. We hope many of you have received information on our Hampden Sydney Kids Camp but our staff would like to personally invite you! We are very excited and appreciative of the partnership with Cumberland County Schools to help make this happen. This will be our 6th year running our kids camp and we hope, if you have not attended before, that you will consider sending your child this summer! The camp is designed for children ages 6-17, packed with fun, learning, and help them improve their game. Our staff believes that this camp will not only help your child improve their game but we also focus on character development through our introduction of our Program’s vision and core values. We love to connect with the community and we hope to get a chance to do it with you.
