I dunno about basketball camps specifically, but for the past several years (starting when he was at Memphis), John Calipari has hosted the annual
Coach Cal's Campus Camp-n-Cook-out With The Cats.
Basically he takes one weekend out of his busy schedule to bring in both former Cats, as well as world-renowned outdoorsmen/survival experts, for two days of fellowship and intensive instruction in bushcraft and basic S.E.R.E. (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) training.
The event is held on the grounds between Memorial Coliseum and the Singletary Center For The Arts and is extremely popular, as shown by this pic from last year's gathering...
This year's event is scheduled for May 15th and 16th and features Chuck Verderber and Bear Grylls and also a special skinning and butchering workshop hosted by the one and only Ted Nugent. The last time I checked there were still a few spots available. The cost is $4,999 per person, but this does include all meals (assuming, of course, your aim is true) and a complimentary buckskin jacket if you complete the course.) Good luck. YWIA.
