Summer Camp Information
Camps
Our summer camps are great! All are five day camps except one. We believe in small numbers therefore we will only allow 15/25 campers per event. Our average staff ratio is 9/1. The focus throughout our organizations 21 years has always been “Quality” vs. “Quantity”. Players who participate in our camps learn from a Christian atmosphere. We have daily devotions. And each player receives special attention in the areas of need. We take pride in teaching and simplifying the fundamentals of the game.
“Our goal is to help every player develop a solid foundation with depth along with the framework needed to play basketball for life”. We believe that once a child gains knowledge, they will receive confidence. And once they gain confidence they will begin to play with aggressiveness.
Prior to each of our camps, a well thought out game plan is created and established that we feel will offer five days of informative fundamental skills, drills and concepts with depth that will no doubt help each player improve his / her overall skills, mental and physical attitude and understanding of the game.
Our director, Deon Hunter believes that elementary, middle and high school, college and professional players are responsible for maintaining a lifelong commitment to the ongoing development of their fundamental skills. He calls it the recipe for success!
