Residential and day camps. Refer to the next question “Where do I stay during camp” for more information!

For overnight residential camps, staff are required to stay on campus in the dorms for the duration of camp.

If you are working at a commuter day camp and you live within 30–35 miles of the camp location, you will stay at home. If you live over 35 miles from the camp location, PGC will pay for lodging.

We may add additional locations as facilities come available. When sessions are added, we notify our PGC community via email. If you don’t receive our emails, you can join our email list here:

Day Camp starts with arriving at the gym between 8:15-8:30 AM to check in and greet the athletes before starting at 9 AM. We’ll spend the majority of the day on the court, with two classroom sessions and a 45-minute lunch at noon.

As a basket instructor, you’ll lead your group through new concepts and game-like situations. In the classroom, it’s important to model ideal student behavior—staying focused, asking questions, and engaging in group activities.

The day wraps up at 4 PM, followed by a brief staff meeting to recap and prepare for the next day.

A typical day at a residential session is full of energy and growth. It starts with a class session where athletes dive into film, basketball fundamentals, leadership, and confidence. Then, it’s all about action on the court, where you’ll guide athletes through skills and game-like situations.

In between sessions, you will have time to get off your feet during meal supervision and staff meetings!

After the final module, you’ll continue providing world-class oversight in the dorms to ensure an exceptional experience. The day usually runs from 8 AM to 9 or 10 PM, depending on the course.
