What every camper receives
Proper equipment
Every child receives properly fitting jerseys, shorts, socks and tennis shoes, so they're ready to play and focus on learning.
Safe facilities
Charitable donations maintain and improve the courts, including Noble Court, so they stay safe and fully operational.
Meals & drinks
Nutritious meals and drinks keep campers going throughout the camp.
Coaching & mentoring
Professional coaches, teachers and mentors lead drills, scrimmages and competitions that build skill, confidence and discipline.
More than a camp, a community festival
With live music, entertainment and even a free barber on site, camp week brings the whole community together. Campers also hear talks on life skills, including the founder's 'three Rs': responsible, respectful and resourceful.
