The Good Neighbor Program and Hall of Fame basketball coach, Bob Hurley created a free basketball camp for youths in the inner city. The St. Anthony Basketball camp, co-coached by Ben Gamble, now in its fourth year, focuses on leadership, team building, family values and the importance of education through one on one interaction. Recreational activities are inherently exciting and fun ways for young people to learn many life skills. The camp supervisors are well aware that participation in sports helps keep young people motivated and focused on schoolwork.
