Deb Smith- Camp Director


Deb Smith has been coaching the Maine Senior Women’s Basketball team for ten years. She turned fifty in 2004 and now plays on the Maine Hot Flashes’ team. Prior to this experience, Deb coached middle school girls’ basketball for fifteen years and played at U-Maine. Deb’s motivation for coordinating a basketball camp experience for women over fifty was inspired by her participation in the 2005 National Senior Games in Pittsburgh. Deb decided that it’s “NOT TOO LATE” for women over fifty to experience a basketball camp similar to the camps that many girls experience today.

Why do I want to come to Maine in June?

Greater Portland offers scenic beauty, recreational opportunities and a wealth of historic and cultural attractions. Maine’s metropolitan area sits right on lovely Casco Bay, a gateway to historic forts and lighthouses. Day and night, Portland’s bustling waterfront is alive with activity and people: fisherman and ferries; sightseeing cruises and pleasure boats; restaurants and shops. A four-season recreational wonderland, Portland is surrounded by classic New England villages, wide sandy beaches and Freeport, home of renowned L.L. Bean.

Why should I register early?

To ensure the high quality of the camp experience, camp will be limited to 70 players in 2009! Don’t delay your registration. Make plans early and allow plenty of time to reserve your overnight accommodations. We are confident this camp experience will be one you will forever remember.
