Basketball Camp General Information

The Saint-Lawrence Lions have been hosting basketball camps since 1997. Over 8000 young athletes have participated in our mega camps and our specialized camps, many of them coming back year after year. A few of our coaches are actually past campers.

What makes us different? As an English speaking camp we encourage through games and positive reinforcement the use of English and our athletes are rewarded for their efforts during the week. We also work hard to hire coaches who love kids, and are enthusiastic about life.  They are hand picked to build your child’s confidence, teach great fundamentals, and make a difference. 

Our mega camps are a perfect opportunity for players to improve in all areas of the game. This camp is beneficial for beginners as well as advanced players. Campers are grouped according to age, skill level and sex and following age classifications. Special activities and teaching progressions are tailored to each age group. In addition to individual skills training, we start the week teaching fundamentals related to 3-on-3 basketball. This helps break the game down and makes team basketball easy to learn. It also allows every player the opportunity to touch the ball more regularly during competition. Throughout the week we progress and typically finish the week with a tournament.

Specialized Camps - Guard and Post

These camps feature in-depth training on how to excel at the guard or post position. For athletes 12 and older, the curriculum is much more specific than our standard camps and involves all aspects specific to guard and post play.
