Is Jay actively involved in the camp?

You will not find a more involved camp owner than Jay Bilas. He is intimately involved in every aspect of the planning and programming of the entire camp. From welcoming campers as they register to the closing speech (and every moment in between), Jay is present.  During camp, Jay is involved in teaching at stations, assisting coaches with instructions and questions, lectures to the campers, Q & A from parents, and providing campers with personal feedback. After the camp, he is available for photo and autograph opportunities.

Do campers receive feedback?

Yes, every camper receives personal feedback of their individual abilities. This feedback includes insights from their dedicated camp coach that worked with them throughout the week, Jay Bilas, and other camp coaches. It is at the camper's discretion whether or not they circulate their feedback outside of the camp.

What does a typical day at the Jay Bilas Skills Camp look like?

Each day at camp will include 3 important components:

1. Individual skill instruction in stations led by experienced college coaches

2. Small group teaching and competition in 2-on-2 and 3-on-3 teams

3. Team teaching and competition in 5-on-5 teams

Each camper will be asked to work hard at all times throughout the day and will have additional opportunities for individual instruction from Jay Bilas and the other coaches each day.

All meals are served on campus in close proximity to the gym and are ‘all-you-can-eat.’ While there isn’t much downtime, there are comfortable lounges in the dorm to watch TV, eat pizza, and hang out with other campers at the end of each night’s activities.

Campers are supervised at all times and are encouraged to get to know their coaches and fellow campers.
