Great West Camp Info & FAQ:

How long is each camp session?

Each session of our Great West camps in Blue River starts on Sunday afternoon & ends around lunch on Thursday.  So 5 days & 4 nights of basketball & fun for each camper!

Who will be coaching & supervising?

We pride ourselves on being the best "teaching" camp in the northwest.  Our camp coaches are some of the leading high school & college coaches from around the region.  In addition, we bring in some of the best college players from the area to serve as junior counselors for the week.  Your child can expect a staff that is high energy, respectful, & ready to help your son or daughter improve as basketball players & as citizens off the court.



What's the deal with food?

All of our campers are fed three well rounded meals per day in our modern cafeteria.  Meals are served cafeteria style & are all you can eat.  In addition to our typical meal times, a night time snack or treat will be served after the basketball activities have wrapped up for the day.  A camp store will also be available to campers throughout the day.

Where do campers sleep?

All campers sleep dormitory style in one of our modern & updated facilities.  Each camper will be provided a bed & an area to store their clothes & other personal belongings.  Campers will be grouped by age & a camp counselor will be sleeping in each area with the campers.  Supervision & the safety of campers is our #1 priority!

What do we need to bring to camp?

Once you have registered for camp, you will get regular communication explaining what to bring with you to camp.  Campers should expect to provide their own bedding, towels, toiletries, etc.

What does the daily schedule look like?

Each day varies slightly, but in general expect a heavy dose of basketball in between meals.  We are a teaching camp for players who are serious about improving your skills.  Campers will have an opportunity to work on all areas needed to become a better basketball player.  From shooting to ball handling to offensive moves to defensive concepts, every camper should leave our Great West Camps feeling like they got better as a player!!  For a sample of the daily camp schedule, please visit HERE:

What are the basketball courts like?

The Great West Skills Camp in Blue River offers the best of both worlds.  The camp features an indoor facility with two full courts as well as three outdoor courts.  Campers should expect to play on both surfaces throughout the week.

Is there a camp store or a place to buy snacks & other necessities?

Absolutely!  We will have a fully stocked camp store available.  Campers can deposit money onto their account & use it throughout the week.  A variety of snacks, drinks, & swag will be available.

Do we get a camp shirt?

Of course! Every camper will get a camp shirt & additional swag & merchandise like hoodies, shorts, & long sleeve tees will be available at the camp store.

Can we make payments on the camp fee?

Yes! A $100 deposit is required to secure your place at camp.  The balance can be spread out over 3 payments with the total amount due 30 days before your camp session starts.  There is a discount for paying for camp in full at registration.
