Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship Program
Each year, Four County EMC awards one middle school boy a full scholarship to attend the Carolina Basketball School in Chapel Hill, and one middle school girl a scholarship to attend the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp in Raleigh through the Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship Program. These scholarships cover all expenses at the overnight camps, which will include meals and lodging (scholarship winners are responsible for their own transportation to and from camp). Campers will stay in dorms and experience life on a college campus, and practice drills with NCAA coaches and athletes. Beyond the physical benefits of playing sports, campers will gain skills that will develop their character and help them excel on and off the court, like working as a team and connecting with new friends.
Students who will be in sixth or seventh grade during the 2025-2026 school year are eligible to apply. All applicants must complete an application and have a parent or guardian’s signature.
