Maybe you can't make it to HoopCamp this year, but you can still join our team. HoopCamp is one of the nation's most innovative learning opportunities.
HoopCamp pioneered a "unified" camp structure where players, coaches and staff of all ages and skill levels work and play together.
There are only winners at HoopCamp, and we invite you to participate.
HoopCamp began in 1993 with a few dozen Special Olympic athletes and became an official "not for profit" 501 (c)3 organization in 2004. Your generous donation not only helps hundreds of young people each year, but it is also tax deductible.
HoopCamp innovates off the court as well. All of our staff, including directors, coaches, and staff, volunteer their time. Nobody receives a paycheck at HoopCamp, so your generous contribution directly supports the camp activities.
