The Individual Instruction camp will be held June-5-9 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day.

The camp is for children in grades 1st-12th and costs $185 per participant.

Coach Theus and his staff will host their first team camp June 9-11 on the NMSU campus. The highly competitive camp is for high school basketball teams from across the southwest. Each school must have a minimum of eight players and a member of the high school basketball coaching staff who will be with the team throughout the camp. The cost for the camp is $600 per team, but if teams register before May 19th it only costs them $500.

The final camp of the summer will be the Aggie Day camp, which runs from June 12-16. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day at various locations on campus. The camp is open to children in grades 1st-12th and costs $185 per participants.
