What is a sample day like?
The Day Camp begins at 9am and ends at 4pm. Once Coach Beaury finishes his Daily Staff Meeting he addresses the campers with the “thought for the Day” and Camp begins.
Camp is very organized. Even our free time is limited and always supervised. Each morning a new daily schedule of all activities is available and reviewed with campers in their morning “team meetings”.

We are a fundamentals camp. We will teach the fundamentals of each position to our campers. Coach Beaury believes that all players, regardless of size or position, must be able to dribble, pass and shoot as well as run, defend and rebound. We will work with each camper on any additional skills they wish to work on while at camp. Each day there are opportunities for our coaches to work on individual skills with our campers.

Campers should dress ready to play basketball each day before they arrive at camp. They will not need to bring basketballs. we have 100’s of balls including all “Official Leather Game Balls” for games and competition.

Is there Early Drop off or Late Pick Up?

Parents may also inform our Co Directors, Alex Meehan or Tom Galvin in person (at drop off or pick up a day in advance) about any special drop off/pick up arrangements for the next day. All final arrangements for pick up and drop off times and the appropriate locations will be made between camp directors and a parent in advance.
