The 3,400-seat Keystone Arena, located in the center of Keystone Hall, is the home of the Golden Bear volleyball team in the fall, and the men's and women's basketball and wrestling teams in the winter. It was also the training camp home of the NBA's New Jersey Nets in the fall of 1995 and the site of a town meeting by President George W. Bush in 2004.

*Please note, Keystone Arena is not air-conditioned. Camper safety is always our number one priority. The gyms can get warm but we take every possible measure (fans, open doors, and plenty of water breaks) to ensure campers are playing in a comfortable and safe environment.

    Thank you!

    August 5, 2021: Henry loved his counselors. He also really loved the food 😁 And he is still tired 2 days later. All in all, very successful camp experience. Thank you!

    he would love to do this camp again

    August 3, 2021: Quinn has developed a passion for basketball, but had never received any formal training to the game. He was very unsure of his skills going into the camp, and determined to leave there with a better skill level and understanding. He really enjoyed the coaches, the dorm experience, and he really liked the fact that most of the day was spent on development skills, and training. Overall, he would love to do this camp again. Certainly, he walked away with a desire to continue to be a better player all the way around.

    an overall positive experience

    July 29, 2019: My son enjoyed the fact that the coaches tried to help each camper individually, not just a select few, and highlighted things he did well which left him with an overall positive experience. The dorm suites were really awesome, giving the kids the opportunity to talk but also have their privacy. He had a lot of fun, enjoyed the coaches, and said he would go back again.

    he was very satisfied

    July 29, 2019: My son went in with a list of things he wanted to work on and improve. The staff helped him achieve his goals and he was very satisfied. He also enjoyed the friendships he built with his teammates and roommates. This was his second year participating in the program and he already wants to sign up for next year.

    I really liked the five on five games

    July 29, 2019: I really liked the five on five games we played throughout camp since it helped me go through game situations on the fly and get back into playing full-court ball. I also liked the roommates I had because I was able to bond with them throughout the camp and make new friends!

    — Logan C., Camper

    The Coaches Were Great and Very Knowledgeable!

    July 30, 2018: Larouche greatly enjoyed himself. He met new friends and learned new skills that he will take back with him to the Bahamas and that will help him as a member of his school's basketball team. The coaches were great and very knowledgeable. He's excited to return next year!

    He Loves Every Aspect Of This Camp!

    July 30, 2018: This was my son’s first camp away from home. He loves every aspect of this camp. He thought the dorms were great and raves about the meals. Oh and then there was the training and other campers. We will be going back next year!

    Great one-on-one time.

    July 28, 2016: This camp taught me a lot of fundamentals and made me love the game of basketball. They really give one-on-one time with the campers which helped me become a better player. My body was sore every night from all of the basketball but they did stretching every day which really helped.
