The Watsa Basketball Camps are ready to help you take your game to the next level!

We provide an action-packed week of basketball that includes daily instruction from our coaching staff and camp director Mano Watsa, two games and a practice each day with your team and plenty of team & individual competitions. .
“The Watsa Basketball Camp is always an amazing experience. I wouldn’t come back ten times in a row if it wasn’t! This camp teaches you to be everything you can be, through the competition on and off the court, the inspiration Mano provides and the staff who make everything that much better.”

Why do so many campers come back year after year?
Although there are probably lots of different reasons campers come back to camp, we know one of the reasons campers return year after year is because of our coaches & counselors! Not only is our camper to staff ratio an impressive 3:1 (90 campers and nearly 30 staff!) but our staff is a dynamic, enthusiastic team who are truly concerned about each athlete!
What do I need to know to sign up?
The dates are a good place to start. Every year our two weeks at the Hidden Acres Camp & Retreat Center are the last full week of July and the last full week of August. Campers arrive on the Sunday evening at 6:30pm and are picked up on Friday following the 2:00pm closing awards presentation.
Where Is Hidden Acres Camp & Retreat Centre?
Hidden Acres is located a few minutes outside of New Hamburg, Ontario, which is approximately 1 hour & 30 minutes from Toronto, 30 minutes from Kitchener-Waterloo and 3 hours from the Windsor area. The facilities include two beautiful outdoor basketball courts, a dining hall, washroom & shower facilities, cabins, a climbing wall, a nature center and a pond.
