We are so excited for camp! We kindly ask that take a quick five minutes to read this info and learn about what to expect for camp this year, as there will be some important new features we want to tell you about.
Please confirm your camp location by checking your email for our pre-camp email, or on our website with your location schedule.
You can make sure you are receiving our pre-camp emails by subscribing here with the email you used to sign up for camp.
Here’s What to Expect:
Teams:
Campers will be organized into Teams of the same age group to start the day. Due to high volume of email requests, we are unable to organize Teams before the start of camp. We will organize Campers into Teams after our Morning Talk and Group Warm-Ups. Our heart is to make sure all Campers are comfortable and happy with their Team, and we will do our very best to accommodate every request! *Please note, we are not able to put kids onto the same Team if they are if they are in different age groups, usually more than two years apart in age.
Check-In Process:
Check-In will start at 9:00 AM for the K-5 clinic, and 12:30pm for the 6-8 clinic. If you arrive earlier, please wait with your camper until their designated start time. Thank you for your patience as we get all of our equipment set up for camp!
While in line for Check-In, one of our JKSC Crew Members will hand you a Check-In ticket to write the your camper’s name, and your name; this ticket will be collected at the Check-In table in an envelope or bin, and this is how we will take attendance.
We will be using the ticket for Pick-Up, simply show your ticket or an image of it with the number. If someone other than you is picking your child up, they will need to check them out in this way. If someone other than a Parent/Guardian is picking up your child, please have them bring the ticket stub or an image of it.
Once the Check-In card has been turned in, we will greet your Camper with their T-shirt and wristband, and welcome them to Day 1! (They do not have to wear the Camp shirt unless they want to.)
Once Inside the Camp Perimeter, your child will set their things by to the side and then they will head onto the court where a Coach will be leading early Warm-Ups. Once all campers have arrived, we will begin our Morning Talk and Group Warm-Ups.
Staying at Camp/Watching Your Child:
You are welcome to stay and watch the clinic, attendance is on a first come first serve basis, as we will need to be mindful of the capacity of the gym, we are expecting 200+ campers for each session.
What to Pack for Your Child:
Comfortable basketball shoes and clothes
*Due to the short length of each clinic, there will be no dedicated snack session.
–A full water bottle with your child’s name.
***If you choose to send your camper with a basketball, please put your name on it. We are not responsible for lost or misplaced basketballs. We will have plenty of JKSC balls for our Campers to use.
Allergies and Medical Needs:
We always have at least one Frist Aid/CPR certified Team Member on hand. If your child has a medical need that you listed during registration, such as an Epi-Pen, please talk to the Manager at Check-In.
Bullying & Behavior Policy:
Our heart is to create a camp environment that is FUN for everyone. That being said, we have a Zero Tolerance Policy for Bullying. Please talk to your child before camp about keeping their hands to themselves and using kind, positive, team-building language. While instances of bullying have been very rare at our camps, we do reserve the right to send Campers home if a Coach feels they are intentionally harming or adversely affecting the experience of other Campers.
THE FUN STUFF: Games, Fun, and
Rainbow Farting Unicorns!
Now that the nitty gritty stuff is out of the way, let’s talk about FUN! Our heart is to give kids the BEST week of their summer! In addition to sport drills, we have crafted camp games that will include relays, obstacle courses, and fun competitions that we can’t wait to unveil! For the K-5 Session, we have hilarious Team names including the Rainbow Farting Unicorns, the Lazer Sharks, the Battle Sloths, and the Blast Raptors (among others). We have MORE PRIZES THAN EVER BEFORE to give away each day at raffle!
Other Questions? Please read the FAQ section on our website as most questions are answered there. We have 500+ campers registered for our clinic this fall, and while we do our best to return every phone call, we’re sometimes unable to do so promptly.

We’re looking forward to seeing you on this Fall!
