Is there a summer basketball camp at the Coast Guard Academy?

I'm a high school junior interested in applying to the Coast Guard Academy. I'm also into basketball and wondering if they offer a summer basketball camp. If so, what can participants expect from it in terms of skill-building?

Yes, the Coast Guard Academy runs a summer basketball camp program for high school students, as well as a lacrosse clinic. There is also a section offered over the weekend in the fall. The camp offers an immersive experience combining both athleticism and sportsmanship. It's specifically designed to expose participants to the level of collegiate basketball, and participants will gain advanced techniques to enhance their game.

The skills taught at the camp cover a wide range of topics, from essential dexterities such as shooting, passing, and dribbling, to more complex skills such as post moves for the big men and off-the-dribble shooting for guards. The camp involves a substantial amount of direct gameplay as well. In addition to the skill-building sessions, there's a heavy emphasis on teamwork, resilience, and game IQ.

Moreover, it provides a great chance to get to know the coaching staff and to get a feel for what it's like to be a student-athlete at a service academy. Overall, the experience is intended to be as enriching and educational as possible for aspiring basketball players.

If you're considering the Coast Guard Academy as a potential college, participating in their summer basketball camp would be a great way to familiarize yourself with the campus, coaching staff, and student life. Have fun at the camp and make the most of the opportunity!
