Day Camps

Day Camp is for boys and girls entering grades 2 through 9 (Grade is based on the upcoming Fall school year).

A true cross section of all things basketball!  Our camp provides a mix of skill stations, Pistol Pete-style ball handling, shooting and defensive drills, plus 1v1, 3v3 and 5v5 games paired to age/ability. 

Yes — you can swap sessions if you notify us at least 24 hours before your scheduled camp. Please email camps@basketballnationusa.com with your request and we will process it for you. 

Yes. You can add early drop-off or late pickup options for an additional fee on most weeks. 

Yes. Each camper plays age-appropriate 5-on-5 games daily, placed in divisions based on ability. 

Every child develops at a different pace and has a different baseline of skills and experience.  If your child is not yet comfortable shooting on full-height (10') basketball hoop or isn't ready for a full day (5 hours) of basketball, Junior Camp will be a better experience for them. 

For our Day Camp, campers will have a lunch break at approximately 11:30 (exact time varies by day).  We suggest parents send their child with a nutritious lunch and a drink or refillable water bottle.  There is an option to purchase a pizza lunch at select weeks of Day Camp. If available, this info on this opportunity will be included in the pre-camp info email sent out two days prior to the first day of camp.  There is not a lunch break for Junior Camp.  

We aim to have one staff member for every eight campers.

We do our best to accommodate friend requests (provided the campers are similar age/grade). While we cannot guarantee requests, we always do our best to pair campers together for as many activities as possible.  Please note that pairing campers together for teams (which is only about 10% of the camp day) can be more difficult due to roster size limits (to ensure adequate playing time) and allowing a competitive balance between teams. But, we always do our best!

Friend requests must be made at least 72 hours prior to the start of camp via email to camps@basketballnationusa.com. Requests placed outside of this window cannot be accommodated.
