The Powerhouse Basketball Camp at Pacifica High this week catered to a wide variety of players from 6 to 14 years of age.

The 45 players started the week honing their dribbling, passing and free throw skills, to list a few and on Friday, the campers will have one last chance to better their scores.

Howard Davis, the Moorpark College athletic director, started the Powerhouse Camps in 2003 when he was the varsity boys' basketball coach.

Over the years, the Pacifica coaching staff has seen the younger players mature.

"We've seen players with little experience grow up," said Abel Morales, the second-year varsity coach.

Nearly 800 boys and girls have participated in the camps, emphasing fun while improving player's skills.

Last summer, one season broke a camp record when 141 players participated.

A camp photo, player evaluation and daily awards are some of the highlights.

Jeff Pike, Bobby Tenorio and Isaac Martinez assistant boys' coaches, run the camp along with recent graduates Cameron Carrizales and Raynard Pamilton.

Returning Pacifica players Annie Davis (senior), Brena Van Sommeren (senior), Justin Jimenez (senior), Steven Garcia (senior) and Derick Becerra were among the camp counselors. Melisa Esquivel runs the snack bar and handles the lunches.

There's one final camp starting July at Pacifica.
