Chris Messecar, Parent — Atticus, 2023 Camper
"Our son Atticus, 11, has been involved in Athlete Institute programming for the past 4 years, including the Summer Basketball Academy. It's been a place where he has not only grown his skills and love for the game but also made meaningful relationships with fellow campers, counsellors and coaches. I recommend Orangeville Summer Basketball Academy to any parents who have children looking to foster their love of the game!"

Lynda Hockley, Parent — Keifer, Camper
"The Summer Academy offered a unique, immersive opportunity for our son to be exposed to the rigorous schedule and physical demands placed on elite players. They gathered top-quality coaches and trainers, had special guests, and invited past and present players from Orangeville Prep. They were challenged and encouraged to develop in every way. Athlete Institute is very professionally run but you feel like family there!" - Lynda

Natalia D., Parent — Camper
"My son enjoyed the intensity and seriousness of the training, he loved all of the meals (usually he is a very picky eater), and he was very comfortable with coaching staff. My son did not have happy experience with previous big named summer camps and was very hesitant to go to Orangeville. I an so glad he tried and I am very thankful that your academy gave such a great experience for my son and gave him happy memories!”

"My husband Tim and I would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for the wonderful experience our son had at camp over the last three weeks. We are of the mindset that it takes a village to raise a child - we are fortunate to have individuals in our lives that contribute to the raising of our sons. We now consider the staff at the Athlete Institute to be part of his village”
