Camps are at the center of the basketball world. Whether you’re a newcomer or a varsity player—there’s a basketball camp for you. 

Types of Basketball Camps

No matter where you’re at in your basketball career—even if you’re just looking to have some fun—you can find a camp that meets your needs. Types of camps include:

Youth camp: Introduces kids to basketball basics and gets them excited to play. 

Basic camp: Focuses on fundamentals and basic skills under the instruction of a coach. Gives athletes an opportunity to seek out club teams. 

Team camp: High school teams attend together and compete as a unit.

Specialty camp: Develops specific skills like shooting and defense while focusing on position-specific drills. Typically for the more advanced athlete looking to get noticed. 

Prospect camp: Gives athletes an opportunity to get noticed by college coaches they’re hoping to play for and potentially land scholarships. These are sometimes invite-only.
