Overnight Camp

Under the leadership of Head Coach Sean Rutigliano, Colby Men’s Basketball is entering an exciting new chapter built on player development, high-level teaching, and a passion for the game. Our week-long camp is open to boys in Grades 5 - 12 and provides participants with the opportunity to train, learn, and grow inside one of the top athletic environments in Division III.

Campers will take part in a structured, fundamentals-driven curriculum that emphasizes the core building blocks of great basketball:

• Shooting mechanics
• Ball handling
• Passing and decision-making
• Post and perimeter development
• Teamwork and communication
• Individual defensive skills
• Team defensive concepts

Throughout the week, players will be fully supervised and coached by Colby’s men’s basketball staff and current Mules players, ensuring a safe, organized, and highly supportive learning environment. Every drill, station, and game segment is led by trained instructors committed to helping each camper grow.

A highlight of the camp experience is the opportunity to train inside the Harold Alfond Athletic and Recreation Center, widely regarded as the premier Division III athletic facility in the Northeast. Campers will have access to state-of-the-art courts, strength and performance spaces, and the same high-level resources used daily by Colby student-athletes.

Campers will also enjoy meals in Colby’s all-you-can-eat dining halls, consistently ranked among the best in the country. This gives participants a true taste of campus life while providing the nutrition they need to stay energized throughout camp.

Our mission is to create an environment where young players can develop their skills, build confidence, and deepen their love for basketball, all while experiencing the exceptional facilities, community, and coaching that define Colby College.

The camp also provides:

• Instructional stations that focus on fundamentals and team play
• Fun games and competitions
• Rewards & prizes
• Camp T-shirt and participation certificate
• Evening Concessions
• Evening activities & entertainment
• Training and medical staff on-site 24/7
