Elite camps

Elite college basketball camps are high-level camps for serious high school players. They're run by college coaches on their own campuses, and they give players the chance to get an inside look at the coaching staff and programs of their favorite schools. 

Exposure camps

Also known as showcase camps, exposure basketball camps are structured with the sole purpose of giving players a platform to show off their skills to prospective college recruiters. 

Position camps

Most camps cover a wide range of basketball fundamental skills; however, there are some specialized camps that allow players to focus on particular basketball positions. My daughter attended a Texas A&M Lady Aggie Guard Camp and loved it.

Fantasy camps

OK, parents, these summer camps are for you! Want to re-live those glorious hoops days? Here's your chance.

Fantasy camps are open to adults only. They give you the chance to spend time on the court with your favorite NCAA and NBA coaches and players. Sometimes located in exotic destinations like the Bahamas, they usually aren't cheap.

But, no doubt you'll be treated like a star - personalized practice jerseys, own locker with nameplate, name brand apparel and shoes. It's just how much are you willing to pay?
