Jack Rosinski’s first dunk as a high schooler. Jack came in with his sister Jenna and began his journey in sports training/strength and conditioning. Learning new things about himself and his body. Jack was only jumping from 9ft 10 inches at the beginning of the summer. Jack is jumping at 10ft 8 inches and still continuing to grow and want more. Gaining 10 inches on his vertical has been crazy, he trusted the process and it shows. Keep working hard young fella, appreciate you for coming in every week and busting your gun💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽✊🏽✊🏽✊🏽🏀🏀🏀

A quick opportunity presented itself and we moved fast…

Investing in Our Youth, One Basket at a Time

The Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa is proud to sponsor a FREE Basketball Camp for our youth on July 27–29, 2026, at the Byron Dorgan Youth Wellness center BDYWC.

We’re excited to welcome Coach Sherron Dorsey-Walker, whose experience at the professional level will provide our young athletes with new skills, fresh perspectives, and a high-level approach to the game. Bringing coaches with different training philosophies exposes our youth to a variety of techniques, strategies, and mindsets, giving them every advantage to grow as athletes and as individuals.

Basketball is about much more than scoring points. It teaches teamwork, discipline, communication, leadership, perseverance, and respect. Just as importantly, it promotes physical fitness, healthy lifestyles, and the confidence that comes from working hard toward a common goal.

Please bring your own basketball that you’re comfortable using. Practicing with your own basketball helps build confidence, improves ball handling, and allows participants to continue developing their skills at home.

Camp Details

Location: Byron Dorgan Youth Wellness Center – Belcourt, ND
Dates: July 27–29, 2026

Session Times:

* 9:00–11:00 a.m. – Boys & Girls entering 6th–8th Grade
* 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m. – Entering 9th–12th Grade

FREE for Turtle Mountain Band community members.

Thank you to Chairman Jamie Azure, District 2 Representative Ron Trottier Sr., and District 3 Representative Lynn Gourneau for partnering to make this opportunity possible. Also to Josh and staff at the BDYWC for adjusting their schedules in a short amount of time to allow this to happen. Together, we continue investing in our young people by creating opportunities that build character, strengthen teamwork, encourage healthy lifestyles, and inspire the next generation to reach their full potential.

A huge thank you to the TMBCI Tribal Council for always supporting opportunities and events like these that invest in our youth, strengthen our community, and create lasting memories for future generations.
