2012 Touchstone Energy Sports Camps Scholarships Now Available

Wake Electric is providing all-expenses paid scholarships for one deserving young woman to attend the Kellie Harper Basketball Camp at NC State in Raleigh and one young man to attend the Roy Williams Basketball Camp at UNC in Chapel Hill this summer. 

The Roy Williams Basketball Camp will be held June 16 - 20 and the Kellie Harper Basketball Camp will be held June 24 - 27. Coaches at both camps will work closely with each camper to develop fundamental skills that will help the young athletes excel both on and off the court.
