The Vipers are hosting two more five-day camps beginning on June 14 and 21 at the Summit Sports Club in Pharr (1500 West Hall Acres Rd), which is also the Vipers’ practice facility. The cost is $125 per participant, which includes lunch, a t-shirt, a voucher for two tickets to a 2010-11 Vipers home game, a Jr. Vipers basketball, a certificate of completion, and a photograph with the Vipers’ mascot Fang, presented by Kidiatric Therapy Services.
