Camp PhilosophyOur mission at Saint Mary’s University Jr. Huskies Camps is to teach people how to play basketball. We provide, in a structured environment, instruction on the fundamentals of basketball with a focus on individual skill and team concepts. We then try to provide,through games and contests, an opportunity for the campers to test their skills in a competitive environment. We believe that success in all walks of life is attainable in some measure through dedication and hard work and try to instill this attitude in the campers. At the same time, we believe that an “all work and no play” approach is inappropriate.By grouping the campers according to age and ability, we try to provide a balanced mix

of instruction, competition and fun that is right for everyone.
