If you aren’t familiar with the Christos House Domestic Violence Shelter & Outreach program they were founded in 1982 as a grassroots organization. They’re an amazing place with a mission to give survivors of domestic violence and sexual violence a safe haven to escape the violence and heal while making positive changes in a supportive environment. Since the Christos House, Inc. was established they’ve grown to maintain a 36 bed emergency shelter, 2 outreach offices, 1 resale store and to serve 8 counties. They’re now growing again and are in the process of building a new emergency shelter and 14 tiny homes!!
This new project will provide survivors, and their children with an autonomous living space to safely move forward after experiencing the trauma of domestic and sexual trauma
Come on out and help raise some money for a wonderful local non-profit and enjoy some great food and awesome cars

Grizzly Basketball Christmas Camp for Youth hosted by MSU-WP Grizzly Basketball Head Coach Jared Phay (different times available) @ West Plains Civic Center
Dec 29 @ 9:00 am

Area school-aged youth are invited to participate in Grizzly Basketball Christmas Camp Dec. 29 and 30 at the West Plains Civic Center.

The camp is being hosted by Missouri State University-West Plains (MSU-WP) Grizzly Basketball Head Coach Jared Phay and Assistant Coaches Joe Greenwood and Walt Belcher. Current and former Grizzly Basketball players also will help coach participants, officials said.

Camp Details

Participants who are in eighth grade and younger will learn basketball fundamentals for all aspects of the game during the camp, Phay said.

These campers have the option of attending one of two sessions:

  • the morning session from 9 a.m. to noon
  • the all-day session from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.

All sessions will be divided into groups based on the participants’ skill levels, Phay said, adding the camps are open to all youths of every ability, Phay said.

All equipment for the camps will be provided, with the exception of personal attire. Campers are encouraged to bring their own ball with their name on it, but a ball can be provided, if needed. Participants also should bring their own water bottles, and those who are participating in the all-day camp should bring their own sack lunch.

Camp Costs and Registration

The cost of attending the morning session is $65; the cost to attend the all-day camp is $95. Spaces are limited for each session, so early registration is strongly encouraged.

Registration forms can be downloaded at MSUWPGrizzlies.com/Camps/Grizzly_Holiday_Basketball_Camp_Registration_2025-2026.

For more information about the camp, contact Phay at 417-255-7991 or JaredPhay@MissouriState.edu.
