Girls Basketball Day Camp

About the Camps

This day camp is designed for local youth grades 3-8. Instructional groups are formed according to age and skill level to help campers develop in an environment that's both challenging and encouraging.

Bethel University Christian Girls Basketball Camps strive to provide opportunities for players to grow spiritually and athletically. Campers receive instruction from Christian coaches and basketball players who will promote spiritual growth and teach core basketball skills. The instruction is nondenominational so that players from all church backgrounds will feel welcome.
