“My experience at Vikings hoop camp was amazing. It was by far the best basketball camp I have ever been to. I have been to other camps in the past and I never got as much instruction as Vikings hoop camp. At other camps I really just played and I never improved my skills. From day one at Vikings hoop camp I saw improvement. The coaches were very engaged and they were always helping us improve and if we had questions they would always give us a great answer. Vikings hoop camp was challenging but fun at the same time and I will definitely want to go back next year.”
“I love Viking Hoops Basketball camp because you learn new skills every day. All the coaches are really nice and you will be with all your friends or make new ones so it will be super fun.”
“This camp was my favorite because it was really fun and I learned so much about basketball. The coaches and staff were awesome. The end of camp knockout game was the best and I can’t wait for next year!”
“I like camp because I get to play basketball with my friends. I also like how the day works, we get to do tons of fun things!”
“This was my first Viking Hoops Camp. Camp was so much fun, I loved seeing all my friends and coaches/counselors are so nice, fun, friendly. I couldn’t wait to get to camp every morning so I could see my coach Josie. She taught me so much and really helped me get better at basketball.”
