Local students learn skills at basketball camp

Two local students recently participated in basketball camps at two of the state’s largest college campuses thanks to Central Electric’s Touchstone Energy Sports Camp Scholarship program. Lorenz Raffi Gallegos Gatlin of Sanford attended the Carolina Basketball School at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and Clara Wachs of Siler City attended the Wolfpack Women’s Basketball Camp at North Carolina State University in Raleigh.

Campers stayed in dorms, experienced life as a college student, and worked directly with coaches and student-athletes to improve their basketball skills and teamwork while also developing fundamental skills to excel on and off the court.

If you know a student who might be interested in attending camp next summer, applications will open in January 2026.
