August 12, 2023: The highlight of the camp experience was the overall connection that the players made with one another. It was easy to socialize and create new connections and make new friends, and it felt like everyone there belonged because we were all striving to reach one goal; to get better at basketball. Players and staff ensured that everyone reached that goal in one way or another,
