OTHER CAMP INFO: A Busy Schedule Activity begins at 8:40 a.m. The morning sessions emphasize individual and team offensive techniques. After lunch the emphasis shifts to defensive skills and 3-on-3 instruction. Besides the emphasis on skill development, campers will play league games each day, compete in individual and team contests, and get 1-on-1 instruction with a staff member on their shooting technique. Awards are presented to the league and contest winners. Campers are assigned to a team by their ability, age, and size. Each evening following dinner campers play league games.
During free time campers will have the opportunity to swim, play games, relax, build new friendships, etc. Each night before lights out, campers can order pizza/subs and spend time socializing with coaches, counselors, and other campers in the dorm. The daily schedule is extremely flexible. Since we are primarily interested in what is best for the individual, the agenda will be adjusted to suit each camper’s needs. For instance, the younger boys will not be required to complete the same syllabus as the older players.
