Campers will also get the opportunity to improve their skills during the course of the day by participating in both individual and team games. Besides developing basketball skills, the camp staff is committed to working with your son to improve himself as a person. Daily talks will include topics on character traits such as leadership, hard work, commitment, discipline, and being a good teammate.

Get your creative juices flowing.  Cut, bend, saw, and create with cardboard all week long! In addition to guided creations, students will also work on their own personal projects like a small house, sword, shield, clock, marble run, helmet, labyrinth, an arcade game, or whatever their minds can imagine. You’ll plan, design, and create whatever you want. We will be using cardboard saws and low-temp hot glue guns during this camp.
