The Silver Knights Basketball Club is excited to offer our annual Summer Camps during the first 3 weeks in August 2023, instructed by our Director of Silver Knights Camps: Coach Raoul Baumgartner and our Assistant Director of House Leagues: Coach Dave Monaco

Parents and Guardians, don’t miss out on this opportunity to bring your basketball “hoopsters” to either St. Theresa of Lisieux CHS in Richmond Hill or St. Augustine CHS in Markham in August 2023 to develop their basketball skills in a fun environment for our annual “Fun & Fundamentals” Summer Camps 2023 (players entering grade 4 to grade 9 this September, girls and boys).

We even have one week dedicated to a higher level of instruction with our “Elite High Profile” Summer Camp 2023 in Richmond Hill (August 14 to 18, 2023) at St. Theresa of Lisieux CHS only for players entering grade 7 to grade 11 this September, girls and boys!!!  We encourage both our Silver Knights rep players and our elite house league players to attend in order to hone their skills during the summer, and prepare for the upcoming 2023-2024 rep basketball season.  Rep team tryouts will take place over two weekends starting the weekend after Labour Day.

Our camps have a fun-filled agenda/itinerary prepared daily.
