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. No discounts can 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.
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 on 12th Street between Wisconsin Avenue and Wells Street.
At Check In, campers will receive a name tag as well as their camp jerseys. Campers will also be able to purchase Camp Cash Cards to be used at our Camp Store throughout the week.

Will meals be provided for campers?
The Marquette staff is dedicated to keeping overall camp prices consistent on an annual basis. In an effort to do this, meals will not be provided for campers this year. Instead, our staff has come up with a unique way to provide lunch at a very low cost. Campers are welcome to bring their own lunch, and coolers will be provided to store lunches. In addition, labels will be provided to ensure each camper redeems their own lunch at the appropriate time.
If bringing a lunch is not ideal for your child, we will have lunch for sale every day. Cash or camp cash can be used to purchase meals. Items will cost no more than $5 and a variety of options will be offered each day.
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.
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, 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’d 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. The Camp Cash Cards can also be used to purchase lunch each day. 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 their coach 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 they’ve been drafted to.
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, Marquette players and Coach Buzz will be signing autographs.
At the conclusion of camp, coaches will give each camper their camper packets and a camp ball. If your son will be leaving early on the last day, please let us know to ensure he receives his packet and basketball.
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.
