Timberwolves and Lynx Summer Basketball Camps

Directions to camps

Thank you for your interest in camp registration! We're very excited about our summer basketball camps. We have something for everyone. Our goal is for all campers to have fun and learn basketball skills in a positive and nurturing environment. We will focus on self-esteem, fair play and fundamental skill development while playing three games per day. A formal awards ceremony will be held each Friday to celebrate the successes of the week. Please join us, and bring a friend, for a wonderful summer. See you on the court!

Summer Camp FAQ

Q. Are the gyms air-conditioned?
A. Depending on location, some of the gyms will have A/C. We allow unlimited water breaks and are aware of keeping campers as cool as possible with air flow, fans, etc.

Q. Can my child be on the same team as a friend?
A. We group campers by age, not gender, and the same age groups will eat lunch, play games and do drills together.

Q. Do boys and girls play together?
A. Yes, the coed camps are grouped by age, not gender.

Q. What is the camper-to-staff ratio?
A. 10:1. The more important ratio is the camper-to-basketballs and the camper-to-basket ratio. Each camp site has a camper limit to maximize teaching opportunities.
