Marcus Campbell Future Star Basketball Camp

A great crowd of happy young students enjoyed the annual Marcus Campbell Future Star Basketball Camp held at the Sumter Central High School Gymnasium July 2-3. Sumter County Commission Chairman Marcus Campbell has served as FSBC Event Coordinator since it began almost 30 years ago was also a former professional basketball player. Campbell said he started the camp simply to provide a safe and fun outlet for children to enjoy at no cost, and he really appreciated all who participated and sponsored the camp this year. Students of all ages were given free t-shirts, food, beverages, and awarded trophies. Athletic skills and life lessons were also provided. Campbell said he thanked all who made the camp a success and looked forward to next year’s.
