Academic Instruction
Academic instruction in mathematics and reading is provided by experienced teachers. Although the curriculum is not designed to replace what the campers receive during the school year, nontraditional activities are created to target skills believed to be essential to all young people. The goal is to enrich learning and to encourage students to embrace academics during the summer break but not to replace a summer school experience.
Basketball Instruction
Basketball instruction is provided by veteran coaches. The instruction takes place in our Shimada Athletic Center and focuses on fundamentals and skill work, team cohesion, conditioning, and sportsmanship.
Recreational Period
After the instructional periods, the camp breaks for an extended recreational period. A free swim is offered or campers may choose to “shoot around” in the gym. Both facilities are well supervised, including a certified lifeguard on duty at the pool and a full-time athletic trainer in the gymnasium at all times.
League Basketball Play
The afternoon is devoted to league basketball play. We have three leagues in the camp, and each league has four teams. Games are played with counselors serving as referees and coaches. In these games, we foster teamwork, hustle, and sportsmanship.
