Elite Camps has been running year-round basketball programs in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) since 1999. Now in our 23rd year of operation we cater to over 6000 athletes every year making us one of the largest and longest running basketball organizations in Canada. Our year-round programming includes school break day camps, weekly lessons, D-League, after school programs, the Elite Advanced Baske
tball Academy (EABA), and our new Hoop Dreams Overnight Basketball Camp. We run our programs throughout the GTA including Toronto (near Bayview and York Mills) Thornhill, Richmond Hill, Etobicoke, and Newmarket. Our overnight camp is run out of Camp Walden, near Bancroft Ontario. We are an Ontario Camps Association (OCA) Accredited Camp. We have a full-time team, dedicated year-round to Elite Camps – to designing, overseeing, and improving our programs and ensuring athlete’s needs are met. This team includes coaches with many years of experience coaching youth basketball skill development, playing experience at the college/university or European professional level, and certified personal trainers and NCCP certified coaches. We believe in continuous improvement in athletics and in life and we practice what we preach. We are constantly upgrading our level of personal fitness, our coaching knowledge, techniques, and methodologies to improve the level of services we can offer our athletes. Every year we train and/or certify with leading industry authorities and or certification boards such as CanFit Pro, NCCP, TWIST Sports Conditioning, Positive Coaching Alliance (PCA), and our recent training this past summer with Ganon Baker. We regularly attend conferences, review DVDs and books from authorities in areas such as personal training, athletic conditioning, youth development, basketball skill development and camp management. This dedication helps us keep up with the latest trends and combine new knowledge with our existing knowledge and skills to constantly improve and evolve our “Elite Camps” approach – a proven method that we have built and evolved with over 14 years of basketball instruction, skill development, and camps. We are also involved in the community. Through our charity, Swish for the Cure (www.elitecamps.com/charity or wwww.swishforthecure.com) we have raised over $128,000 for the Childhood Cancer Foundation to help fight the battle against childhood cancers. Our annual event, now entering its 6th year also includes a fun day of basketball and other activities for 50 kids with cancer.
