The counselors are really nice and supportive of the campers, the food is great, and the activities are fun. So far, I have done arts and crafts, dance, ASL, friendship bracelet making, jewelry, animal husbandry, improv, volleyball, outdoor living, and baking. There is also a banquet (you must wear a dress or other formal clothing), at the end of the session, a talent show, Performance Hour, Optional Rec, and a dance (ages 11 and up). The bathrooms are very clean, we take showers, and we make rules for our cabin with our counselor/s. We clean the entire cabin every day after breakfast. Overall, I think you will have an excellent experience if your daughter is between the ages of Mm 10-15.

I enrolled my 6 year old daughter who is in grade I in the 7th session of the 2025 edition of…read moresummer camps at Northstars. The exact dates were July 28 - July 31, 2025. I enrolled my daughter because the website said "Age 1st-8th Grade" and because the description on the website also said :   "Katie DaCosta will be conducting a fundamental camp where campers will be taught the breakdown of the game of basketball and each athlete will learn the fundamentals that they will need to take their game to the next level. Each athlete will leave our camp having gained dribbling, defensive, shooting mechanics, and so much more." Before enrolling my daughter I wanted to double check with the coaching staff whether they accepted complete beginners to their camps. I sent an email to the email address given, left a voice message for voice message on Katie's phone and even sent her a WhatsApp message but received no reply. Even though I didn't get any reply I decided to take my daughter to the camp because she was so excited to learn to play basketball. I double checked with Katie in person whether they accepted complete beginners into the camp. Katie was concerned about her size but after the first session she said she was felt she could handle it. The camp was divided into 2 groups, either by age or by playing level. I was not sure because my daughter was the youngest, and also the least skilled. She had never played before and small in stature even for her age. Katie's involvement with the little kids was extremely little. She spent most of her time with the older more competent kids. In ten days, she would have spent 10 minutes at most with my daughter. There was another coach in charge of the little kids, I believe his name was Brady. Referring to coach Brady on the first day, Katie said "he is great with kids". Coach Brady could be a good basketball player but it was really evident he really didn't want to be out there working with little kids. Either that or he hadn't a clue on how to work with little kids. I assume he was a high school or college basketball player just doing some summer coaching to make some extra money but with little or no motivation to help the player improve. Brady was constantly yawning, often hung out by the side of the ring and just watched while the kids played. Often his eyes were on the other court where the older /more advanced kids played and not on the kids he was in charge of. His energy levels were extremely low, he showed up late on the second day and wore sandals and socks to the session on the third day. In essence, his conduct was extremely unprofessional. The kids were not taught the fundamentals as advertised on the website. My daughter was not the taught to dribble properly, not taught any defense or shooting mechanics. Given her size and knowledge of the sport one could say she was not capable of learning this much in a week. I would buy into that argument if she was at least taught the very basic rules of the sport. I myself am a sports coach and have been coaching for the past 23 years. Prior to that I played professional sports, college sports and youth sports. I have been a part of summer sports camps either as a coach, director or participant for many years not just in America but in multiple countries too. Summer camps are either focused on a) fun or b) focused on technical, tactical or mental skills. There is really very little from either of these two categories that my daughter took away from the camp. The coaches did little to promote team work and fun amongst the children. My daughter was quite often by herself and coach Brady didn't sense that. On the third day, my daughter was subject to some horse play / bullying by the only boy in the group. It may have been sparked by daughter - I don't know because I couldn't hear through the glass windows. Even though I could see it happen before my eyes through the window, coach Brady just turned a blind eye or didn't know how to handle it. Coach Katie was on the other court and wasn't aware of what was happening on the little kids court. Katie worked with the older kids but quite often she was seated and working on her computer or phone. If this camp was part of a coaching exam where the quality of coaching, professionalism and coaching methodology were to be assessed, it would be a definite Fail. There was no proper lesson structure. It was clearly not planned and the use of equipment was very limited too. Children's beginner lessons often have modified equipment to accelerate the learning curve. Other than a mini basketball hoop that was brought out once they figured my daughter was incapable of shooting at the regular ring and a couple of mini hurdles, no other equipment was used to assist the kids. After each day, I was hoping that the next day would be better but there was no real improvement. I didn't take my daughter for the fourth day (last) because she said s
