Over the past 18 years she has cultivated an expert group of directors, some of which have been with her for all 18 years, to help teach her curriculum at our various locations. Her passion for teaching, attention to fundamentals, and love of basketball has helped develop a unique group of loyal coaches who return to camp summer after summer.

My daughter has been coming to Sarah Behn camps for a number of years. I'll never forget her first experience at your camp (and I'm sure Lily will not either). Every day after camp, Lily would come home, wouldn't even come in the house, and begin shooting basketball. When dinner was ready, she would come in and head back out immediately. I watched as she played until it was too dark out and she had to stop. She continued this the rest of the week (and a good part of the remainder of the summer). On Friday, you held your award ceremony. Lily won the Most Improved Player that year. I'm sharing this story because I believe your camp has had a tremendous impact on her. She has set her goals to playing basketball at BC, has already got herself a BC shirt and there is no doubt in my mind, that if she set her mind to it, this will be. She's a hard worker and very motivated. But the point is, whether she makes it to BC or not is immaterial because the lessons she has learned are invaluable. I'm sharing this story because I believe your camp has had a tremendous impact on my daughter. The things you've taught and modeled at Behn Camp - skills, goal setting and positive reinforcement have really helped her as a player, student, and individual. Your camp serves as a wonderful inspiration to Lily. She's looking forward to her summer at Concord!
