Prairie Fire Basketball Camp

The Knox College Basketball Camp is open to youth entering grades 3-8 in the 2024-25 school year. It is our goal to give all our players a positive basketball experience. We want the game to be fun by making each player better than they were before camp. Good sportsmanship, as well as good attitude, will be emphasized so that all our athletes will be better people as well. Basketball will be taught, coached, and played on a competitive basis. Balanced teams will be formed, and players will play an equal share of time in each game. All participants will receive a camp t-shirt.
