DETROIT (6/26/2015) -- It was a week full of basketball inside historic Calihan Hall as the University of Detroit Mercy hosted three different basketball camps on campus. On Monday and Tuesday, the Calihan Hall gym was packed with teams from all over competing in a tournament-style setting.
On Wednesday, the Detroit men's basketball team hosted their elite camp. Thursday saw the fifth annual Titan Athletic Club Basketball Camp for Special Needs players with more than 40 campers participating on Dick Vitale Court.
"We started the week with our team camp, we had 64 teams and more than 850 campers," Detroit men's basketball head coach
Ray McCallum said. "We had outstanding talent. We had some outstanding teams. We had some teams that will make some championship runs and we're excited that our camp has grown to that."
Four teams were crowned champions during the first two days of the week as Rochester Adams and Toledo Whitmore brought home titles during the morning sessions, while Detroit Renaissance and St. Clair Shore Lakeshore earned titles in the afternoon sessions.
For the fifth consecutive year, UDM hosted the Basketball Camp for Special Needs Players with former Titan men's basketball player Bernie Fuhs leading the campers during the day. Both the Detroit men's and women's basketball coaches and players were on hand to assist with the camp.
"I don't know who had more fun, our team or the players in the camp," Coach McCallum added. "That's what we're about at the University of Detroit Mercy. It's about service, giving back and it's a lot of fun."
