ABOUT

The Dunk Camp is simply that -- a camp completely focused on the most beautiful and athletic feat in all of sports and dream of every player who has ever stepped on the court - dunking a basketball.

 

We bring together the best dunkers and vertical jump trainers in the world for 4 days of intense training on every aspect of jumping and dunking to help athletes accelerate their progress towards making their first dunk or taking their dunking skills to the next level. 

 

At The Dunk Camp, you will learn how to:

 

  • Warm-up

  • Jump (approach​, arm-swing, penultimate step, take-off, landing, etc.)

  • Dunk (basic through advanced)

  • Train properly

  • Recover

  • Think properly and use visualization

  • Avoid and recover from injuries

  • Overcome obstacles, challenges, and plateaus

  • Apply the principles of dunking in other areas of your life

 

​Each participant will be tested on their vertical jump. This data will be kept in our Dunker Database and will allow you to see how you compare with other dunkers including professional dunkers. 

 

​At the end of the camp, participants will get to show off their hops in a dunk contest (low rims and regulation) judged by our pro dunkers for sweet prizes and bragging rights.

 

​The Dunk Camp finale is an epic Dunk Show put on by our pro dunkers. All attendees can participate during warm-ups where they can try to land their first dunk or new dunks!

​

There is no other camp in the world like The Dunk Camp. If you love dunking, you need to be here.

​

​​I want to share a hotel room with another camper. How do I do this? 

Lodging is NOT included with your registration fee. But, if you are interested in sharing a hotel room we can connect you with other attendees who also want to share. When you fill out the registration form during check-out, indicate you want to share a hotel room. We will connect you with others who also want to share a hotel room to make these arrangements on your own.

​

​How do you recommend getting from the airport to my hotel and getting around? Should I rent a car? 

​We recommend taking an Uber or Lyft and if possible sharing with at least one other person. If you would like to share a ride, be sure to indicate this in the pre-camp survey that will be sent out 30 days prior to camp. We will connect you with others who have flights arriving and departing around the same time to help everyone save money.

​​​

​Will any food be provided?

We will provide a healthy lunch and light snacks each day of the camp. You are welcome and encouraged to bring extra food and drinks. If you stay at either of the camp hotels, breakfast is included in your stay and there are several restaurants located nearby.
 

How many athletes will be attending The Dunk Camp Utah?

To allow for as much individual coaching as possible, we are capping attendance at 100 athletes.

​​

Will you have any other camps in the summer of 2025?

Currently, our Utah Camp (June 16-19, 2025) is the only one we have scheduled for 2025. Due to the large number of athletes who want to attend, we have increased our capacity by moving to a larger facility and increased the number of professional dunkers and coaches. This will allow us to accommodate more athletes and deliver the incredible camp experience we are known for. If you want to come to Dunk Camp in 2025, sign-up as soon as registration for our Utah camp opens. It will sell out fast and it might be the only one in 2025.

​

​What is the cancellation policy?

  • Full refund if cancelled before January 31, 2025

  • $100 cancellation fee if cancelled between February 1 and March 31, 2025

  • 50% refund if cancelled between April 1 and April 30, 2025

  • NO REFUNDS after May 1, 2025

  • Payments made for The Dunk Camp 2025 can NOT be applied to future camps

​

Do I need to be able to dunk in order to attend The Dunk Camp?

No! That is one of the main reasons we created this camp! Typically only about half of our attendees can already dunk on 10'. We have had over 20 attendees so far land their very first dunk at The Dunk Camp which has been very special to be a part of! We anticipate many more landing their first dunks at our camp. We also have low-rim dunk sessions and contests!

​​

​How many inches will I gain on my vertical jump if I attend The Dunk Camp?

That is impossible to predict. However, the majority of our past attendees increased their standing vertical jump and max vertical jump from Day 1 to Day 4. With that said, most of your progress will happen after The Dunk Camp by applying what you learned and putting in the work. Jumping higher takes time and consistent effort.

​​

Will I be able to dunk by the end of The Dunk Camp?

We will have low and regulation rims so everyone will be throwing down sick dunks regardless of their current ability! :) At our camps so far, we have had over 20 athletes dunk for the very first time and even more athletes land new dunks they had never done before! Landing your first dunk at The Dunk Camp is an epic memory that no one will ever forget! 

​

​How old do I need to be to attend The Dunk Camp?

Age 14 and up. 

​

What should I bring to camp? 

Review our packing list.

​

Do campers get into The Dunk Show for free?

All camp attendees get into The Dunk Show for free. In fact, all campers are invited to participate in the "pre-dunk show" before our pro dunkers take the court. This could be your first time dunking (or trying to dunk) in front of a live audience and is often one of the highlights of the camp for many attendees. 

​

All family and friends who would like to come to The Dunk Show will need to buy a ticket.
