[Answered] Your camp questions

 With [our 20% early-bird discount for Summer Camps]( on Thursday, I want to address the most frequently asked questions we’ve received: - Can you describe a typical camp day? - How are kids broken down into groups at camp? - What skills will be taught? - Is lunch provided? - Does the camp have a low player to coach ratio? - The camp says sold out. Can I still register? - What is the refund policy? 1 - Can you describe a typical camp day?  A typical day at our basketball camp is meticulously crafted to enhance skill development within an engaging, challenging, and positive environment.  Each camp follows a carefully planned sequence of skill progressions throughout the day, strategically building on participants' learnings to elevate their basketball abilities.  The daily flow varies across camps, with some emphasizing a structured progression from individual skill sets in 1 on 0 scenarios to more game-like situations like 1 on 1, 2 on 1, 2 on 2, and beyond.  Morning sessions are dedicated to these foundational skill-building exercises, ensuring a solid grasp of fundamentals before advancing to more complex gameplay scenarios later in the day.  Overall, our camp days are carefully designed to offer both education and enjoyment, providing a comprehensive and progressive approach to basketball skill development.  2 - How are kids broken down into groups at camp?  The coaches will attempt to even the campers up with the amount of baskets and assistant coaches at the camp.   Dividing these groups up the coach will take into consideration grades and skill level first.  If a camper needs to be moved up a grade to balance out the groups then the coach will take the skill level listed on the registration sheet into consideration.  The goal is to get baskets / groups divided up with boys and girls only. This doesn’t always work. In that case, coaches will attempt to blend the genders into groups the best that they can.  If your child feels like they fit better in different group, then we encourage them to communicate to the head clinician to see about the possibility of getting moved to another group.  3 - What skills will be taught?  We offer a diverse range of basketball camp options at Breakthrough Basketball, catering to a variety of preferences and skill levels.

Can I still register?  Yes, registering will put your child on a waitlist in case a spot opens up.  If a spot becomes available, you will receive an automated email containing a payment link. Please note that the available spot will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.   7 - What is the refund policy?  If you are needing to cancel a registration for any reason, we will refund you in full all the way up until 15 calendar days prior to the start date of the event.  If canceled 14 days or less prior to the start of the event, you will be refunded 50% of the camp fees.  Medical issues/death in family can be refunded all but $50 admin fee, even within 14 days.
