Hooping it up: Kina Batulanon, 15, left, and Darya Pankova, 13, shoot baskets during the Spokane Eastside Reunion Association Basketball Camp in Underhill Park on Tuesday. More than 100 kids ages 5-17 from throughout the city have been learning the fundamentals of basketball during the nine-week camp this summer. Michael Brown, the camp’s founder, said most participants receive a scholarship covering the $200 cost of the camp. Local businesses and individuals sponsor the children who cannot pay.
