Tradition
Houghton College's Basketball Camps are quickly becoming the biggest in the Northeast, with close to 700 campers attending each year. This is the place to be for serious players looking to improve their games.
Location
Our camp is located on the beautiful campus of Houghton College in the historic Genesee River valley of western New York. The campus is just off Route 19, 65 miles southeast of Buffalo and 70 miles south of Rochester. The Southern Tier Expressway is just 15 miles to the south. (Directions to campus.)
Facilities
Houghton College provides top quality athletic facilities, including
three full size hardwood courts, eleven outdoor courts,
state-of-the-art athletic training area, fully equipped weight room,
a 25 meter swimming pool, and ample meeting space.
Basketball Camp Mission Statement
Houghton College Basketball Camps are committed to providing top-quality professional instruction and exposure to the Christian life in a setting that emphasizes individual attention and maximum participation at an affordable price.
Objectives and Philosophy
Houghton College is a Christian college that has historically
provided a quality educational experience for young people in a safe
and wholesome atmosphere. Each camper will receive individual
attention and specific coaching adapted to age and skill level
(students entering first through 12th grades). While at most
basketball camps you play two games per day with a running clock, at
Houghton's camp you will play 3 full length games per day. We also
guarantee that there will be no more than ten people on a team.
This camp is the perfect choice, whether you are just entering the
first grade or getting ready for a state championship.
