Kentucky Wildcats Expand Basketball Camp Lineup for 2025—New Dates, Limited Spots & Rising Star Access
Mark Pope adds a Northern Kentucky stop to the Wildcats’ summer camp circuit—plus, meet Otega Oweh at a special Lexington ProCamp.
- 3 Kentucky Wildcats satellite camps confirmed for June 2025
- $75 per camper for the new Wilder, KY satellite camp
- Otega Oweh ProCamp exclusive in July with photo and autograph opportunities
- Ages 7-17 eligible for Wildcats satellite camps
Wildcat fans, get your sneakers ready—Mark Pope’s Kentucky basketball camps just got bigger! After the first two satellite camps reached waitlist-only status faster than last year’s tickets to Rupp Arena, the Cats are rolling out a third opportunity this summer.
The highly anticipated new stop lands at the Town & Country Sport Complex in Wilder, Kentucky, on June 28. Kids ages 7-17 can snag a spot for $75—but hurry, registration is open now and these seats are vanishing in record time.
Parents and campers alike can expect top-tier instruction, safety, and excitement at every turn. Certified athletic trainers and Wildcats staff will be on hand at all three camps, ensuring a safe, action-packed environment. Campers will sharpen skills, make new friends, and immerse themselves in the legendary Kentucky hoops culture.
