GET TO KNOW US

HOOPS FOR HOPE SEES BASKETBALL

AS A TOOL FOR REACHING PEOPLE WITH A MESSAGE OF HOPE.

We are passionate about people. We want to see young people improve their basketball skills as well as discover that they are significant in this world. We believe everyone has a Purpose, Plan, Place, Part and Power and are eager to help people discover these for themselves. Everything is done in a high-energy positive environment the kids absolutely love.

Hoops for Hope was born in 2004 when a team of 7 went to North Africa. Since then we have seen thousands of people impacted by the camp.

Our Camps

In order to provide excellent instructions on fundamentals, camp size is limited to approximately 50 participants. Camp sessions generally last 3 hours. We do 2 camps per day.

CAMPS INCLUDE

  • Mass ball handling drills
  • Fundamental Stations
  • Contests & Competitions
  • Life Skills Focus

Each day in camp concludes with instruction and encouragement for personal development. At the end of camp, every camper goes home with a basketball, certificate of completion, wristband, and a large dose of encouragement.
