Transcript of the interview

How was your first experience with Camp Joookooo?

My first experience with Camp Joookooo was fantastic. It was coming right out of COVID. It was the first year that my son played rep basketball and could not have been more impressed with the entire Camp Joookooo program.

What was unique about Camp Joookooo?

I think what certainly is unique about Camp Joookooo is, yes, sports certainly number one, but it really is a holistic program looking at education, looking at development not only on the court but also off.

What do your children say about Camp Joookooo?

Absolutely loved it. He's moved on to university now but certainly misses it and really appreciates all of the time with the coaches and stays in touch with the wonderful friends that he made over the 2 years with Camp Joookooo.

Was there any change or noticeable personal growth that you saw in your child after time at camp?

A big change with Cole, certainly from a sense of responsibility, I'd say I saw a huge development from his side of things, not only in school but on the court as well too.

What advice would you offer to other parents who are considering this program?

There are so many programs out there that it's a challenge to figure out which is going to be the best fit for your child. Camp Joookooo, bar none, is the absolute most professional, most dedicated coaching staff of all of the programs that we're out and experiencing.

Any final thoughts about Camp Joookooo?

If I could describe Camp Joookooo in one word, certainly it would be family, and that would be my favorite thing about the entire Camp Joookooo program. From the parents to the athletes to the coaches, it is like one big happy family. Everybody looks out for each other, has a great time together, and grows together.
