Linda Sparks78 days agoUpdate: My daughter wrote the review below after a week at camp last summer. She has now completed two more weeks this summer, with a third 2026 session booked in late August. She absolutely loves it there - it's a fantastic blend of solid basketball training mixed with traditional summer camp fun. As the head coach of her travel team, I can attest to the development gains that come from her weeks at camp. And as her parent I'm thrilled to see how much she loves it and the enduring friendships it creates - she's still in touch regularly with kids she met last year. Hi, I'm 12 years old, this was my first year at Hoop Dreams Camp. This camp is one of the best things I've ever done, and I've done many sleep away camps. I went alone, but everyone there is so welcoming and kind and the counsellors make everyone feel welcome no matter what. The bunks and cabins were amazing. The beds were a good size and comfortable, and they made sure to give you lots of space for your stuff and personal items. The food at this place was 5 STAR (like the camp) The food was very good, and you could have as many servings as you want and need with no issue. The food choices were also very inclusive, and not to mention the salad bar that is open for every meal. At game time/basketball periods the coaches helping were always super fun, kind, enthusiastic, and always willing to give constructive criticism and help out. The activities you are able to do while not playing basketball are also super fun and well managed. This camp overall was quite literally life changing for me and i will definitely be coming back as long as possible. This camp help with my teamwork skills, confidence and my overall basketball skills. I was nervous when i first got there but that faded quickly seeing how everyone was so positive and kind. If your kid is nervous just know that it is one of the best experiences I've ever had. If you're looking for a basketball summer camp, this is 100% the one.Posted on Google

Tong Chieng114 days agoThis is the third year our son has been at Hoop Dreams, and he always leaves with such a great experience! Even though it’s a basketball camp, the friendships and bonds they make really help them grow socially too. Usually, we can’t get our son off his device at home, but for the whole time he’s at camp, he says he doesn’t miss it at all. I highly recommend it if you’re looking for a fun overnight camp experience for your teen.Posted on Google

Anna G120 days agoMy 11-year-old just finished his first week at camp, and he absolutely loved it! From the basketball drills and fantastic coaches to the delicious food and tubing, everything was, in his words, "awesome!" One comment that really stood out to me was that having the basketball courts and the lake right beside each other made the whole camp feel peaceful and relaxing. He came home already asking to go back next year. Highly recommend!Posted on Google
Katana Guttman344 days agoMy twin boys absolutely love Hoop Dreams! They both love this camp, the basketball(of course) and the fun afternoon activities and I can't forget to mention color wars(thier faborite)! ! They also liked the coaches and air conditioned cabins. I liked how the staff contacted me after each year one registration and more importantly, how they contact you in the Tuesday of the week to let you know how your year one registered child is doing(If any issues, it gets addressed right away). I am also impressed with how the staff care for the atheletes/campers and make sure things stay orderly. I highly recommend this sleepover camp to any youth who love basketball! Both of my boys cannot wait for thier week I signed them up for in summer 2026!Posted on Google

Andrew Gallacher418 days agoI sent my two children (12 & 10) to Elite Camps Hoop Dreams this summer (2025). Coming from Japan to attend the camp, and this being their first time, it's safe to say that we were a little nervous about what to expect. Gladly, both kids (boy and girl) had a fantastic time and are already talking about wanting to go back again next year. Thank you very much to Stephanie (the camp's owner/director) and the staff at Hoop Dreams for providing my children with a wonderful childhood memory. I highly recommend the experience to any basketball and/or outdoor enthusiasts. All interactions were professional, caring, and understanding of cultural differences from the perspective of both parents and children.Posted on Google
cindy-Jo Thompson422 days agoMy 13 year old had an amazing experince. It was his very first time away at a sleep away camp. At first he was very nervous about going and that he was not going to make any friends. He did make friends alot of friends. He even got an award for Kayaking!! He learned so much more about basketball. He has even talked about wanting to go back next summer. !! Elite Camps Hoop Dreams Overnight Basketball camp is the place to be. Thank you to the staff who made it possible for him to be there. Thank you so much to the staff who made him feel safe and comfortable. I recommend this camp to everybody!!!Posted on Google
Kelly Voisin430 days ago10 stars if I could give more than 5 here! From the communication to the facilities to the staff, all around this camp is top notch. My son would live here for the summer if I let him! His first summer and he went not knowing anyone, he made friends, loved the food and can't wait to come back. I also can't thank the staff enough for how educated and thorough they were in taking care of his allergies, I never thought an overnight camp opportunity could be possible for us. We will be back with friends next year!!Posted on Google
Christine Roy431 days agoAfter a week at Hoop Dreams Camp, my son has not stopped raving about his incredible array of experiences, all coaches and staff, and even the food! The location is incredibly beautiful. He will be back next season. 10/10 recommend.+0Posted on Google
Toni Fulkerson431 days agoEasily the greatest camp my child has ever attended. Every time they come home they boast about it for weeks. And have managed to recruit a few friends to attend every year. The skills they learn, the activities they do, and the camp counsellors, all contribute to the amazing success we’ve seen. 10/10 would recommend!Posted on Google
Melissa Quarrie444 days agoMy daughter (10) loved her first year at Hoop Dreams. She went with a couple of other girls from her team, so that likely helped build her comfort and confidence. She loved the basketball, and also the SUP, swimming, and other water activities. She also thought the counsellors were fantastic. She’d attended a non-sport overnight camp for the previous three years and enjoyed this one much more. The only negative comment she had was that she didn’t get enough to eat, but it sounds like she may have needed to be a bit louder in asking for seconds :). She’s planning on two weeks next summer!+0Posted on Google
Crystal Myles449 days agoMy son returned from his third summer at Hoop Dreams last week and had another amazing time! Every year - the food, the cabins, the coaches, the experience - all exceed any camp expectations we could have.

Shirley Alexander449 days agoMy daughter LOVES this camp. Cabins are nice, great courts, friendly staff, food has been rated ok :-). She's been going for 1 week each summer, but wants to go back for 2. She met a great group of girls as well. Would highly recommend this camp!!Posted on Google
Sasha Mazzuca449 days agoThis was my son's first year at Hoop Dreams (cabin 3), and I have to say they run seamless operations. From lead-up to return-home. All the questions you might have are answered before you even think of them. The updates of daily photos and letters from your camper on Bunk1 were probably my favourite part. I definitely see Hoop Dreams being booked again next summer. Thank you to all the AMAZING staff! They were all awesome!Posted on Google
Mishi Methven449 days agoAfter four years going to this camp, my son loves it even more each year. Consistently great staff, camaraderie, food, activities and lots of personal growth.Posted on Google
joe passaretti452 days agoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
Amazing camp! The kids had a fantastic time and raved about the accommodations, food, activities, and especially the basketball coaching. One suggestion for an even better experience would be to ensure coaches actively encourage making the right basketball play. My daughter and several other girls in the teen session noticed that passes often weren’t made to them by most boys regardless of being open or in a position for the right play. A consistent message about making the best basketball play—rather than passing to avoid girls could help reinforce the development of basketball IQ.Posted on Google
Kailey Flanagan456 days agoExcellent experience! She had an amazing time at camp. Would definitely recommend to others!Posted on Google
Tia K457 days agoThis was my son’s third year at Hoop Dreams Camp, and he had an amazing time again! So many fun activities, great communication, and we loved the daily photo updates.

We’ll definitely be back next year!Posted on Google

Gregory Duquette463 days agoWe sent our somewhat reluctant athlete to Hoop Dreams for one week. On Thursday he contacted us via bunk notes that he’d like to stay for another week! He was having so much fun he didn’t want to leave. He was thrilled with the experience and he speaks very highly about all the coaches. He’s already talking about next year.Posted on Google
Cliff Mark468 days agoHoop dreams is an amazing camp! Here are my 10yr son's comments: I was there for a week and didn't feel home sick whatsoever. There is always something to do at this camp, arts and crafts, water tubing, open basketball, rock climbing wall, water sports, and volleyball. The coaches are respectful and kind, there is dribbling, passing, cut & fill training exercises. There are a lot of special events like Cabin Cup and a Youth camp tournament (a basketball tournament for the youth camp, same thing with Teen camp) also there is snack time. After lunch there is candy/tuk shop where we can buy merch and candy. At the end of the week there was awards handed out to people who won overall. This is an amazing camp, great job, I would definitely want to go back - RyersonPosted on Google

Maria Calimano792 days agoAmazing experience! My son wanted nothing to do with camp but he came back so happy that he did go. I am absolutely amazed by the experience he had. While he was there my best moment of the day was at night when I could see his glowing face in the pictures at bunk1. It was even better than I expected. Loved it! He would not stop talking about it. He wants to go next year and I will be thrilled to send him back. Mission accomplished Hoops! thanks so much.
