10. Is this a team camp? We are an instructional camp for offensive skills; the shooting game and the one on one game. This camp will elevate an individual's game immensely which will then elevate the team's power and thus, the potential to lift a school's program. Teams who attend are given the opportunity to play as a team as much as time allows.

11 . Is this a Christian camp? Yes. We conduct our camps in a Christian atmosphere and everything that we do is based on scripture and the truth in Jesus Christ.

Other coaching positions are filled by area coaches who are professional coaches who coach/teach for a living. We also have demonstrators who are former campers and many are college students who play on the collegiate level.

14 . What is the difference between a day camp and an overnight camp? The day camps are more economical and are good in comparison to what is being offered in the basketball world, whereas the overnight camp is more in-depth and inclusive and allows for more uninterrupted "mind" time to focus on each session.
