Program Description

The goal of the Boys Basketball Camp is to improve the level of play of each camper and provide him with a rewarding and fun camp experience while learning thr fundamentals of Basketball and making new friends.  A low camper-to-counselor ratio helps our staff of college and high school coaches and several college players meet the needs of campers of all ages and skill levels.  The themes we stress to campers, accountability, sportsmanship, and that each boy "be the best camper" he can be.

The morning session focuses on individual and team instruction in techniques that campers then practice in scrimmages or game situations.  The afternoon session begins with competitions addressing a particular skill, such as shooting, individual defense, or a team concept.  We focus on these fundamentals to reinforce the skill development of each camper and to raise the level of each player's game.
