Camp Philosophy

Every camper that attends Camp has a love for basketball. The philosophy of the Camp is to nurture this love in a positive environment, with the goal of further enhancing each camper’s self-esteem. This is achieved by establishing an environment that is physically, socially and emotionally safe. Qualities such as teamwork, sportsmanship and a positive attitude are strongly encouraged.

The Program

The emphasis is placed in the values of hard work and trying your best, while giving each student a strong foundation in the fundamentals of basketball. The individual skills of rebounding, dribbling, shooting and ball-handling will be given special attention. Priority is placed on how these skills are incorporated into a team setting.

In order to guarantee individual attention and playing time, the number of players on a team will be limited to a maximum of eight. Each camper will have the opportunity to participate in competitive games during the day. Teams are selected based on ability rather than age or gender. Girls will be given the choice of playing on coed or all-girl teams. The emphasis here is placed on the values of hard work and trying your best.
