Please see our attached welcome letter for families who have registered for 2021.
Brought to you by
No. 1 Basketball Camp in Annapolis for over 20 years!
Greetings! Can you believe we are approaching the 1-year mark since COVID-19 rocked our world? We hope every family reading this is healthy and staying strong as we push through what is *hopefully* the final stretch of this crazy era.
That being said, our executive coaching staff is doing everything they can to ensure we can safely bring back Weber’s Bulldog Basketball Camp for the summer of 2021!
We have currently locked in the following dates for summer sessions at Annapolis Area Christian School (Middle School Campus) for all-day camp sessions:
July 12-16
July 19-23
July 26-30
Each session will run 9:00am-3:00pm
As many of you know, Coach Weber is also an Assistant Principal at an area Catholic school that has been operating on a hybrid schedule since the Fall. His role there afforded him the opportunity to receive the first dose of the COVID19 vaccine just last week. In addition, our long-time athletic trainer, Michelle Anderson, who also works in a private school, has received both doses and will be fully protected for the remainder of the year. Several other members of our senior coaching staff also work as educators and are currently awaiting their opportunity to get priority vaccine appointments as soon as they become available.
That being said, we know it will take months until larger groups of the population can get vaccinated. Therefore, *as of now,* the plans for our Annapolis program will look a little different this year.
Each week of the Annapolis program will be capped at 75 campers TOTAL (half of the number we host each week in a normal year).
Waitlists will be established through the online registration system so families who do not get signed up in the first 75 spots can hold a place in line. You will be notified if more spots open up, OR, if county and building restrictions are relaxed and we can add more campers to the rosters.
Online registration is slated to open on February 17th and will operate on a first-come, first-serve basis.
To keep teams balanced, we always group players by their ages. Please note that some age groups may fill up faster than others. Historically, we’ve always had more kids registered in the ACC age group (9-11yo) than any other league.
We are looking into the possibility of adding more outdoor hoops and outdoor tents for lunch breaks, so teams can maintain social distancing and still have the full camp experience they have come to know and love.
We will follow all CDC guidelines and recommendations as they pertain to basketball. In the event we aren’t able to play as many actual games (either due to health restrictions or lack of teams/players), then the program will be restructured to include more individual skills development. Our ultimate goal is to get the kids doing a physical activity that incorporates dribbling and shooting a basketball and do this in the safest manner possible!
You should expect that the Weber’s Basketball Camp precautions will look similar to what we’ve all come to expect in the last 11 months –from temperature taking and symptom monitoring to sanitizing. Parents will be asked to keep children home if they are exhibiting any symptoms that could be COVID-related.

Dear Camp Families,
After much study, prayer, and with heavy hearts, we have decided Weber’s Bulldog Basketball Camp cannot operate for the 2020 Summer Season. At the heart of this decision is the safety of our campers, staff and their families. We care too deeply for all of you to risk opening for camp operations this summer, which would have marked the 24 th year for Weber’s Bulldog Basketball camp.
No one is more disappointed about this decision than myself and my own family. My 10-year old son has been living and breathing basketball every minute of each day for the past year and it pains me to think of him being home, playing NBA2k20 for the entire month of July instead of actually playing real basketball and working hard to try and get his team to the ACC Championship game every single Friday.
We have closely followed information put out by the CDC and studied our Governor’s plan for reopening Maryland to help inform this decision. Our goal has always been to make camp an enjoyable experience for all. Unfortunately, the game of basketball requires children to be in close proximity and share equipment.
Weber’s Bulldog Basketball Camp is committed to refunding all balances and deposits paid through the AACS portal and The Edge Training Academy’s website. I have been assured those refunds will begin processing very soon from both parties. We appreciate your understanding and patience in awaiting confirmation of this process.
We will now move forward in planning for the summer of 2021. We do want to stay connected with you and your families this summer, so please look for updates on our website and social media platforms. Thank you for the trust you have given us and for your constant support.
We know that you and your families voted us, “Best Sports Camp” in the Annapolis area in 2018 & 2019, and we really appreciate the accolades. No doubt that we would have met your expectations, once again, this summer.
We can’t wait to see you all next year and to see the progress each and every one of you has made! Please stay safe, stay active and keep enjoying the game of basketball!
Yours Truly, Bill Weber Weber’s Bulldog Basketball Camp, Owner
