Are there any discounts offered?
Yes. The three available camp discounts are: Marquette Staff, Sibling and Multiple Session. Each discount is worth $25.00 off the full price of camp. Discounts cannot be combined.
- A Marquette Staff discount is available to those children directly related to an individual employed by Marquette University. Each child related to the employee will receive a $25.00 discount. To use this discount, a Marquette ID number is required.
- A sibling discount is available to those families who have more than one child attending camp. The multiple sibling discount can be applied even if the siblings are not attending the same session of camp. The first child will pay full price for camp, the second child will receive a $25.00 discount, a third child will pay full price, and the fourth will receive a $25.00 discount.
- A multiple session discount is available to those campers who attend more than one session during one camp season. The first camp session will be at full price, the second session will receive a $25.00 discount.
What is the camp refund policy?
Partial refunds are available if our staff is notified at least two weeks prior to the start of camp, but we will withhold a $75.00 deposit for reserving your space. If you notify our staff less than two weeks prior to the start of camp there is NO REFUND, unless it is for a medical reason and an official doctor’s note is provided.
If a camper is unable to participate for a medical reason a full refund is available with a doctor’s note. Full refunds for medical reasons are available regardless of when the staff is notified.
What forms are required in order for my child to participate?
Registration is simple. All forms required will be provided through online registration. If you registered online, your child is ready to participate in camp.
What items should my child bring to camp?
Campers should wear basketball gear (shorts, gym shoes) every day. Campers should also bring their reversible camp jersey each day. Camp jerseys will be given out on the first day of camp.
Check in will take place the Monday morning of each camp week. Camp begins at 9:00 AM, with our doors opening to campers at 8:30 am. Check in, as well as daily drop off and pick up will take place at the Al McGuire Center. The Al McGuire Center is located at 770 North 12th Street between Wisconsin Avenue and Wells Street.
On the first morning of camp, campers will be able to purchase Camp Cash Cards to be used at our Camp Store throughout the week. See below for more details.

Will meals be provided for campers?
Yes, lunch will be provided to all campers. They will be eating on campus in a cafeteria.
Camp begins at 9:00 am and ends at 3:30 pm, daily.
Marquette’s Camp is geared towards providing instruction to its campers through a fun and exciting atmosphere. The camp will teach your child skills including passing, shooting, ball-handling and individual development.
Along with daily instruction and skill-building, campers will hear from guest speakers who have succeeded in the basketball world. Past speakers have included former Marquette players and current NBA players such as Steve Novak and Wesley Matthews.
Daily contests including free throw shooting, 3-on-3 and 5-on-5 games, as well as hot shot and dunk competitions which allow campers to learn team work and engage in fun competition.
If parents are interested in watching their son throughout the week, they are welcome to do so. A daily schedule is available just inside the Al McGuire Center Doors at “Camp Central” so they can identify the location of their child throughout the week.
Will there be medical staff at the camp?
Certified trainers will be present at all times during camp. If your child has any medical condition or limitation, such as asthma or specific allergies, please let our staff know. Trainers will be informed and will be responsible for all medications during camp.
Our experienced, certified trainers are present to ensure your child has a safe and enjoyable time at camp.
Camp Cash Cards are considered the equivalent of cash at Marquette Basketball Camps and are available for campers who prefer the alternative to carrying cash all day. Camp Cash Cards are available for purchase any time during camp and are available in denominations of $10. The child will be responsible for the card throughout the week, though their name will be on the card in case of loss.
Cards can be attached to shoes or gym shorts and can be used to purchase snacks, drinks and gear from the camp store. Refunds will not be given to remaining balances left on Camp Cash Cards.
Can my son be on the same team as his friends or for a carpool?
Campers can request to be on the same team as friends or other campers in their carpool. If they wish to be on the same team as another camper, they should let the camp director know on the first day of camp.
While we try to accommodate campers, it is important to Marquette Basketball to provide the best camp experience by evenly matching ages and skill levels to arrange for the best level of competition. For this reason, we encourage all campers to remain on the teams to which they have been drafted.
What if my son has to leave early?
Please inform camp staff at the beginning of the day if your child needs to leave early. Your child will be escorted to the Al McGuire Center to be picked up at the necessary time.
What happens on the last day of camp?
The last day of camp is Championship Friday. Championship Friday includes tournament games as well as an awards ceremony.
Parents are encouraged to attend all tournament games as well as the awards ceremony. After the awards ceremony, at approximately 3:00 PM, Marquette players will be signing autographs.
Camp will conclude before autograph signing so all campers are free to leave. If campers want to stay for autographs, it will end between 3:30 and 4:00 pm.
