Summer Day Camp Basketball Division

In addition to the general Camp activities – swimming three mornings a week, trip day and a weekly show – Basketball Campers dedicate their afternoons to intensive skills-based training. Over the course of the three-week intensive, students focus on different skills each class, culminating in small-team scrimmages. We emphasize individual mastery and teamwork. For example, if the theme of a specific class is dribbling, the players will first dribble unopposed for at least twenty minutes with personalized attention from the coach. Next, players dribble with partial opposition (often against a coach), then full opposition. Next, players play a conditioned game and finally practice plays in small groups. We find that with this approach players have a great time, gain confidence, and make great strides in their basketball skills.

The basketball intensive focuses on ball handling & dribbling, turning, shooting, passing & receiving, rebounding drills and decision making

Campers in grades K – 8 will get 1.5 hours of basketball instruction 3x/week. We provide all necessary equipment.

Other activities include: Swimming 3 days a week, trips 2 days a week, dancing, drama, martial arts, cooking, archery, soccer, theater and more.
