What People Are Saying
I just want to thank you for the wonderful week of basketball camp. My grandson was visiting from Vancouver and thoroughly enjoyed it … he said it was the best camp he has attended, including the one he participated in last year in Vancouver. He especially commented on how helpful and encouraging the coaching was … he definitely felt that he learned a lot and was actually looking forward to receiving this homework!

Our son attended a couple Kootenay Valley basketball camps with Coach Gib. Our son had an awesome time and can’t wait for the next basketball camp! We also love that building character is important too at basketball camp!
Lance and Julie ~ Grand Forks, BC
Thank you for a great camp. Kluane really enjoyed it. Extra thanks for the prep talk at the end. I am a teacher and see so many kids giving up when learning takes some grit. Love how you connected those values to basketball and beyond.
