Bulls’ Great Pippen Hosts Skills Camp in Deerfield

Scottie Pippen Hosts 4-Day Youth Basketball Camp

Do you want your children to learn basketball from Chicago Bulls Hall of Famer Scottie Pippen?

If they are between 8 and 15 they can have that chance Monday through Thursday at Joy of the Game in Deerfield. Find out the times for different age groups so the young athletes can learn from a man with six NBA championship rings.

Test Your Brain at Teen World Trivia Night

If learning basketball from Pippen isn’t enough, Deerfield youth between 12 and 17 can exercise their brains during Teen World Trivia Night at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Deerfield Public Library. All are welcome and the teens can form teams or play as individuals.

Travel to the Moon

Well, not exactly. But, the Lake County Astronomical Society will bring strong enough telescopes at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Jewett Park to see the mountains and craters on the moon. The event is sponsored by the Deerfield Public Library and is free.

Cooking Class and Book Discussion Coming Thursday

Will it be belly or brain (Sicilian food class or a book discussion) Thursday?

You can do either but not both.

Learn to prepare a roasted Sicilian pepper salad, pasta with homemade sauce and a tiramisu at 7 p.m. Thursday at Whole Foods. The cost is $8 and you get to eat what you cook.

If you would rather talk about “The Night Circus” by Erin Morgenstern, you can do that at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at the Deerfield Public Library with a member of the library staff.
