During the school holidays Youthtown and Canterbury Rams ran basketball camps for children and teenagers.

The free camps for seven to 18-year-olds took place over three days and at Linwood College and Hillmorton High School.

Four camps were delivered to 120 primary, intermediate and high school students. 

The camps were designed to give young basketballers an opportunity to sharpen their skills and make new friends while being mentored by Canterbury Rams players.
