Next Level Camp

Grades 3 through 12

This is a new camp beginning in 2015. The Next Level Camp is very similar in structure to the Player Development Camp. In addition to tutelage from Coach Painter, campers will be able to hear lectures, interact and view demonstrations from professional basketball players and Boilermaker legends Robbie Hummel, JaJuan Johnson and E’Twaun Moore. Campers will learn the basic fundamentals of the game all aspects of the game of basketball are taught. Take-home drills will also help the campers increase their level of play.

Registration is for ALL CAMPERS from 2 to 4 p.m., on the first day of camp, in Cary Quad on campus (across the street from Mackey Arena). Both residential and commuting campers must register at Cary Quad Residence Hall prior to the start of camp.

At registration you will check in, get your room assignment, receive your camp T-shirt, and pick up your meal card for the dining halls. Camp orientation will begin immediately following registration.
