PROGRAM IS FULL. REGISTRATION IS NOW CLOSED.

Khmer Maine works to uplift Cambodian American and Southeast Asian communities across Maine through cultural programs, health and wellness, and youth empowerment. Many Southeast Asian youth face limited access to organized sports and mentorship opportunities due to language barriers, cultural disconnects, or financial hardship. Organized athletics can be a powerful tool for building confidence, community, and leadership—but access isn’t always equal.

This basketball camp responds directly to that need by offering a free or low-cost, culturally inclusive summer program that connects youth with positive role models, teaches core life skills, and strengthens physical and emotional wellness.

    • Build positive relationships and social confidence across cultures

    • Expand horizons, perspectives, and engage your on relevant topics

    • Foster mentorship and leadership among Southeast Asian youth

    • Create safe, inclusive spaces for summer recreation and learning

    • Promote health, wellness, and teamwork

    • Sessions held twice per week for 7 weeks (14 Sessions Total)

    • Each session includes warm-ups, skill development drills, scrimmages, and team-building activities

    • Mentorship circle at the end of each session, with rotating topics: goal setting, identity, respect, teamwork

    • Transportation and snacks provided (pending funding)

  • Sessions are Tuesday and Thursday from 11am-2pm. Location will be emailed to program participants upon confirmation. Youth Athletes are required to attend each session. Excuses absences are allowed if parents/guardians email marpheen@khmermaine.org.
