Camp registration will run from 8AM-9AM on the first day of camp. Our program will start at 9:30AM in the gym. Please be dressed and ready to play. On each subsequent day of the camp, players should arrive at 8:45AM or earlier if an athletic trainer is needed. Late arriving campers should report to the gym.
Fundamental camp runs until 5:30pm and Mini Jam runs until 12pm or 5pm depending on the session.
Bring a refillable water bottle for hydration throughout each day of camp. Every camper will be given a camp t-shirt to wear each day and will receive her own women’s regulation Nike basketball.
No cell phones are allowed at camp. They are a distraction in the gym during games and lectures. Camp phones are available to all campers, if necessary, in the gym.
We have professional Athletic Trainers on staff during the entire week. All medical needs, such as injury treatment, knee and ankle wrapping, will be addressed daily. Those campers on medication should register their condition and medication with the trainers on the first day of camp.
A $50 administrative charge will be made for any cancellations prior to May 2nd. After that, tuition refunds, minus the $50 administrative charge, will be made for medical purposes only, accompanied by a physician's letter of explanation. No refunds will be issued once camp has begun.
