At PGC courses, the safety and well-being of each player is our top priority. For nearly the entire day, all the players and staff are together on the court, in class, or in the dining hall.
Background Checks & Training
Every PGC Camp Director and staff member is required to undergo a mandatory background check, complete hundreds of hours of rigorous basketball and safety training, and many are even required to shadow a veteran camp director for an entire summer before ever leading a PGC session.
My son, 14 years old, had never been to any sort of sleep-away camp, nor had he ever been to a basketball camp (day-long or otherwise), so he didn’t know what to expect and he was excited but anxious. He was very happily surprised at the instruction level, the intensity, and the safe and supportive and encouraging environment that the PGC coaches created.

The safety, especially at night exceeded expectations – thank you! As a mom, that was my biggest concern. Addi is quiet while she takes in information and tries it out so thank you for recognizing everyone learns differently and is quiet at first but they are still learning.

Dorms
For overnight camps, our staff stay in the dorm building with the players, and we ensure appropriate supervision and curfew checks each night. The players do not have a lot of time in the dorms, as they typically have less than an hour following the evening gym session to shower, have a snack, and be in their room before curfew.
Our Three Rules:
1. Players are not permitted to enter the dorms of the opposite gender at any time or they will be immediately sent home.
2. Players are not permitted to leave the campus at any time unless it is with a parent.
3. Players are must be in their own room by curfew.
