Participant Testimonials:
“Ever since my first year at Isaiah's camp I have always looked forward to going at the end of summer because I knew it was a week where I would learn how to become a leader and work with a group of people. Isaiah has gone from helping me gain leadership on the basketball court, to teaching me how to be a respectful man within my family and society.” - Former camper and scholarship recipient
“Going to Isaiah’s camp had a big impact on me on and off the court. Of course I was challenged in the basketball aspect, but my character was also challenged. As I got older and worked at the camp. I started to realize why we were challenged so much. Isaiah always emphasized it being bigger than basketball and that was the motto. I built lifelong relationships with not only the staff as my big brothers but with campers that I still know and communicate with until this day. Working there gave me the platform to also be a big brother and leader to those campers and I’m forever grateful for the opportunity.” - Former camper and 2021 camp coach
