Wyoming hoops great Brandon Ewing to host youth camp in Laramie

A sold-out youth basketball camp will bring Brandon Ewing back to Laramie on June 6-7, giving young players in Albany County two days with one of the most decorated guards in Wyoming history. Even with the camp already at capacity, fans will still have chances to meet Ewing during the weekend.

For families, the draw is straightforward: Ewing is not just a former Cowboy, he is a program landmark. The University of Wyoming Athletics Hall of Fame inductee from the Class of 2020 played in Laramie from 2005-09, became the first player in program history to earn All-Mountain West Conference honors four straight years, and led the conference in scoring three times from 2007 through 2009. He was also the first Cowboy to reach 1,000 career points before the end of his sophomore year.

Ewing’s place in the record book helps explain why his return carries weight in Laramie. Local sports coverage has described him as Wyoming basketball’s second-leading scorer all time with nearly 2,200 points, behind only fellow Hall of Famer Fennis Dembo. The University of Wyoming says Ewing scored more points than any other Cowboy except Dembo, a resume that still resonates with fans who followed the program through the 2000s and with younger players who know the name from the Hall of Fame display in the concourse of the Arena-Auditorium.

The camp also fits a broader University of Wyoming pattern. UW Athletics regularly lists basketball camps and clinics for 2026 on its official camps page, and the Cowboy Basketball Office can be reached at 307-766-5114 for camp information. For Laramie, Ewing’s return is more than a nostalgia stop. It puts a homegrown Wyoming star back in front of local youth, in the same town where his college career built the standard he is still measured against.
