Camp Philosophy
Since 1961, the Snow Valley California Basketball Schools have been instructing kids on the fundamentals of basketball. As the longest running basketball school of its kind, you'll receive more instruction in the fundamentals and more chances to improve your skills than anywhere else in the world. This rigorous daily format includes fundamental instruction, clinics and team games that will leave each camper with renewed energy and enthusiasm.
Overnight Campers
Housing & Roommates: Campers will reside in the Van Kampen Residence Hall dorms on campus and stay two per room. If you have a roommate request and have not already given it to us, please do so as soon as possible. Roommate requests are not guaranteed, if you don't have a roommate request, you will be placed in a room with someone near your age. It will be a great opportunity to meet someone new!
Bathrooms: Shared
Linens: Not provided
Air-conditioning: No
Pool: Yes
Suggested Spending Money: $40 (Cash only)
Supervision: The staff live in the dormitories with the campers and participate in evening activities. Drugs, alcohol and tobacco are strictly prohibited, and constitute, along with general misconduct, grounds for dismissal from camp without a refund.
EXTRA NIGHT STAYOVER
Campers attending both Boys I and Boys II are welcome to enroll for an extra night between sessions on July 15th. This will be an additional cost of $100 and may be added during registration.
Personal Player Report Cards
Snow Valley Basketball programs feature staff and players whose own high school and college coaches were important in their basketball development, so they know how to help you achieve your basketball goals. Snow Valley treats each player as an individual. A Personal Player Report Card will be kept on your camper throughout the week, and given to them at the conclusion of camp. This report card will note particular strengths and weaknesses, and offer suggestions for individual improvement once they have left Snow Valley.
Daily Basketball Play
Daily game competition against other players of similar age and ability levels will be scheduled. Every participant will play a minimum of one-half of every game. In addition to games, a minimum of nineteen clinics concerning individual and team fundamentals will be presented during the week-long session. Drills are a big part of each clinic. We design our program to have an eight to one player to coach ratio and guarantee your son or daughter will receive an excellent week of basketball involvement.

Lights Out
Train where it all began at Snow Valley California's original site. Westmont College is boasted in the secluded foothills of Santa Barbara, offering stunning views of the Pacific Ocean and Santa Ynez Mountains. Campers will utilize the indoor courts of Murchison Gymnasium for all of instruction this year.
Murchison Gymnasium has been the home for Warriors basketball and volleyball since it opened on January 4, 1969. The gymnasium was renovated in the summer of 2008 with a new floor, new bleachers, new paint and a new sound system. The result is a brighter, more fan friendly arena which servers our athletes coaches and fans.
