Fork Union Basketball School, located on the 500 acre campus of Fork
Union Military Academy (FUMA) in Fork Union, Virginia, was
established in 1985 under the direction of Virginia Sports Hall of
Fame Coach Fletcher Arritt. The camp is now under the guidance of the
current Post Graduate Basketball coach, Matt Donohue. Over the
past 4 decades, more than 200 of FUMA’s players have gone on to play
Division 1 basketball. Throughout Thomas Gymnasium, one can view an
impressive display of college jerseys donated by former players. These
athletes, along with other well-respected players, are the core of the
teaching staff at Fork Union Basketball School. Experience, success,
love of the sport, and enthusiasm; all are reflective of the over 3
decades Fork Union Basketball School has continued to educate campers
in the fundamentals of the game. Included with skill instruction is
good sportsmanship, social skills, and the importance of teamwork.
Boarding on the campus of Fork Union Military Academy is available for
boys from 2nd to 12th grade. Girls and boys may attend as day campers.
We have a full schedule that allows for various ages and skill levels.
FUMA is on Route 15 approximately 18 miles south of Zion Crossroads,
35 miles from Charlottesville, 50 miles from Richmond, and 100 miles
from D.C. Campers are housed in the modern Academy dorms staffed by
camp counselors and instructors. Meals begin Sunday evening and end
with breakfast on Thursday. Day campers eat lunch and dinner with the
camp. You can find more information about the program history and camp
at: www.forkunionbasketball.com/camp FAQs Is there a concession
stand? Yes. Each camper may bring money to deposit in the camp bank at
registration. Is transportation provided? No. Since there is limited
public transportation to and from Fork Union, it will be your
responsibility to provide transportation for each camper by private
vehicle. What should I bring? FUBS will provide each camper with a
reversible jersey and pair of shorts for use during scheduled
activities (FUBS washes these daily for boarding campers). Please
bring white socks (higher than shoes), basketball shoes, a few changes
of clothes, linens (towels, pillows, sheets, and blanket), soap and
toiletries, etc. Can I bring electronics? Fork Union Military Academy
does not recommend bringing any personal valuables. FUMA is not
responsible for any lost or misplaced items. What is the refund
policy? Should a camper find it necessary to cancel, a full refund
will be made if notification of cancellation is received by June 15.
Cancellations after this deadline will result in a refund deduction of
$25.00 for administrative expenses. There are no refunds after
uniforms are issued on the day of camp registration.
