Summer 2025 marks the 27th season of Play Hard Hoops Education Summer Basketball Camps! PHH has consistently worked with over 1000 kids over the last four summers on the court Our general basketball camps are run every week combining fundamental instruction, skill-based contests and game play, where we can teach the fundamentals of the game in an encouraging environment. PHH Summer camps offer an incredible opportunity where kids entering 2nd - 7th grade can learn, have fun and improve. Additionally, PHH Camps will always teach the life lessons we believe are so well learned in our camp environment - led by our words of the day: passion, teamwork, attitude, character and gratitude. We will be running over 50 camps in at least 8 locations in Chicagoland, as well as camps just across state lines at the Milwaukee JCC and Keva Center Madison, WI.
