If you're serious about basketball, you've come to the right place.
Our Week of Basketball
Over the past 26 years, nearly 5,000 players from across Canada and the United States have attended our action-packed week of basketball training. Here's what you can expect.
Improve Your Game
Each morning, skill stations teach you to read defenders, pass creatively, handle the ball under pressure, finish at the rim and get your shot off against quicker players.
Play Hard
Put your new skills to work in league games each afternoon, with breaks for swimming, canoeing, beach volleyball and the climbing wall. Evenings bring competitions and all-star games.
Find Passion for Life
Each day starts and ends with an inspiring message, challenging you to live with purpose, strong character and a standard of excellence, grounded in Christian-based principles.
