The SUNY New Paltz Basketball Camp is committed to developing fundamental skills and a broad understanding of the game. The atmosphere will be fun and conductive to a positive learning environment.
The main goal of the boy’s and girl’s co-ed camp is to help each camper improve individual basketball skills and knowledge through individual instruction, station work, lectures and games. Primary skills taught during camp include shooting, dribbling, passing, rebounding, post play, and defensive concepts. Campers will also learn about team offense and defense.
Our coaching staff is excited, knowledgeable and energetic. Our facilities are second to none. By the conclusion of the week we look forward to having the camper continue play in school and as a lifetime activity. The camper will walk away with an appreciation for the sport.
The camp will run from 9:00 am through 4:00 pm, will early drop off and late pick up times beginning at 8:00 am and ending at 5:00 pm. The cost per camper is $215.00, early registration rates are offered at $15 off the first camper and $30 off the second if payment is received by June 5. Family discounts are also available.
