Back 2 Basics Free Basketball Camp For Kalamazoo Youth

The summer is an interesting time for children as they have much more time on their hands then they had previously. For nine months of the year, they spend 8 or more hours at school but during the summer they have to find a way to entertain themselves during this time. In this day and age, that's means lots of gaming and other electronic use.

Many parents do what they can to keep their children engaged in meaningful and brain stimulating activities during this lengthy time off. There are tons of programs, camps, and other resources to assist with this as well. In addition, this also relieves the minds of many parents as they know their children are safe while at these programs.

Kalamazoo is one of the many cities that has an abundance of resources to provide opportunities for the youth. Sports have always been an interest point for many youth, especially those with disadvantaged backgrounds. That's why camps like Back 2 Basics are so important for the community.
