THE TRADITION OF BASKETBALL CAMPING EXCELLENCE CONTINUES...

DAY CAMP (June 24-27, 2024)
Our day camp for boys is more than just a basketball experience; it's an opportunity for campers to learn from current college players and coaches, meet new friends and have a lot of fun along the way. Whether it's a camper's first encounter with basketball or a chance for advanced players to fine-tune their fundamentals, Coach Lane ensures that every week at camp is the highlight of their summer. Our campers are closely supervised, and strict check-in and check-out procedures are in place. Campers play with peers of similar age and size, fostering an environment that promotes both learning and fun. For older campers, the camp serves as a platform to focus on basketball fundamentals, creating a solid foundation for future recreational play or school team participation.
