If your child is looking to improve their basketball skills, camps can be a great option. Camps allow kids to spend the day(s) with quality instructors who will help them develop as players. These camps can be run by many organizations, including local colleges, governments, or corporations. The following is a list of some options for basketball camps in the San Jose area.

This camp is run by the Golden State Warriors NBA team. There are a multitude of options to choose from, so it is easy to find a camp that fits your needs. Some options include overnight camps, multiple locations, and all-girls camps. General camps are for boys and girls aged 7–15 and last 4 or 5 days. The price is roughly $400 for one camp. Warriors players and coaches have also appeared at these camps.
