Girls, boys, advanced players, beginners... Everyone is guaranteed to improve their game this summer! And you will improve your game in an atmosphere of FUN with lots of support and encouragement.
Daily instruction and recreational play is available! Campers participating in the elective program can schedule as much basketball as they want. Instructional classes and recreational play are available throughout the day.
Our basketball director is a basketball professional with teaching experience in the camp setting. Basketball staff instructors are undergraduate/graduate students with college playing experience and, in most cases, teaching experience.
Campers are grouped into instructional classes based upon skill level and age range. Beginners are introduced to the sport with patience and encouragement by instructors who enjoy working with beginners. Intermediate skill classes focus on practicing and improving basketball fundamentals – shooting, passing, dribbling, rebounding, and defense. Campers with advanced skills work on ball handling, conditioning, post moves, court spacing, team offense and defense strategies.
Camp Lohikan’s basketball facilities include four regulation basketball courts. Three of the basketball courts are brand new and equipped with lights for night tournament play and evening activities. These courts are also equipped with adjustable goals, which are utilized when instructing young campers. One indoor basketball court is located in our sports center adjacent to the canteen/snackbar which is used in inclement weather and for pick-up games played during canteen free times.
