"My camp experience helped me grow as a player and a person. You will have the opportunity to learn skills that will help you both on and off the court. I had the privilege to attend the first ever Phenom Camp. It gave me the ability to showcase my talent & skillset against some of the best players in the world. The camp played a huge part in my basketball career.
Thanks so much for all your support!
Appreciate you JK! Hope to see you soon"

"This camp was one of a kind In my opinion and this wasn’t a place to go play basketball but go and learn some life lesson on how if you take care of this sport it will take care of you. It is a 3 day camp once a year but if you treat it correctly the bonds you make from this camp last a lifetime. This camp has helped me meet people from all over this country and seen basketball trough a different picture. The camp has never ended for me due to the great mentorship of joe Keller and the other coaches that always checks in with me and help me understand this is bigger than basketball at all times and when you go to this camp your apart of a bigger family now."

"Phenom America camp taught me how to be a better student in the classroom and on the basketball court. Coach Dave Taylor's speech about maintaining good grades as well giving my best effort all of the time and being accountable for my actions is something I use to motivate myself everyday. I tell my teammates all of the time the things I learned at Phenom. I can't wait for the next Phenom Camp!"

"I have been lucky enough to have attended a boys camp and a girls camp for Phenom America. Phenom America camp has taught me the tools needed to be able to continue my basketball career at the next level. Making connections with people who care about my future and coaches who push me to do my best is something other camps don't offer. I am blessed to be apart of Phenom and look forward to attending the camps in the future."

I am very excited that I get to work Jr Phenom and 150 camp this summer as a coach and counselor of the camp. Phenom was a life changing event I attended in middle school because how much professionalism it was ran with. The competition and exposure was not like anything I have ever seen. After attending the camp, I received my first D1 letter in 8th grade. It prepared me to face major talent going into a high school as a freshmen on varsity. From then on I earned a division scholarship at IUPUI and that turned in to me currently entering my 3rd season as a professional. I have played in Bosnia, Macedonia, El Salvador, China and Albania. This is the best middle school and high school basketball camp and around and I am grateful to be apart of it again after 12 years.

Hello My name is Malachi Johnson, Part of Class 2025, I really liked this camp because it helped me develop my weaker abilities and it helped me have a chance of exposure and make new friendships with people across the world. I really liked my teammates and during the camp because we all stuck together and grew our relationships throughout the came coming through as strangers to each other and coming out as friends. My coach I had at the camp (Coach Wilson) showed me new ways in my game mainly in the shooting and defensive cores because I asked him to help me develop my shooting and defense.

Parents on the Phenom Experience
"Phenom was a great experience! It gave me a chance to compete on a national level at an early age. It was an eye opener to what i was going to face in my high school years. I would recommend it to all young hoopers than plan on playing varsity and trying to get to the next level."

We've only been part of the Phenom family for the past 2 years and it's the best decision we ever made as a basketball family! We have one son in camp now and my youngest will be as soon as he's old enough because of the experience these kids get at the National camp and the pedigree of the coaches they learn from! I also coach at the National Camp and the opportunities that have come from it and the connections I've made and the family I feel like I've joined is unreal and it feels like this is just the beginning!
I'm a parent and my son attended the 2022 Phenom National camp in July. The camp was a very good experience for my son, and he was well motivated for playing basketball after the camp. But the associated services were very slow.
My son KHALYN Williams -Thomas attended the 2022 Summer Basketball Camp! KHALYN is a good ball player, however he lacked confidence in his skills. After attending the camp his confidence has grown exponentially! KHALYN was chosen as an All-Star! Additionally, he was chosen as the MVP!! For him to win that honor he was humbled and now has a strong sense of his basketball skills. His school was so proud of him that he was featured in the weekly newspaper! Phenom camp is an excellent camp, that builds an athletes confidence, fundaments as well as strengthen athletes weakness. I am so confident in the program, that my son will be attending the 20th anniversary camp in 2023!!
My son Jace (10yrs old) attended Phenom National Camp 2022. This was my sons first time at the camp and he loved it. While at the camp he was able to see where he excels and the areas that he needs to improve. One of the biggest take aways for me was the amount of talent at the camp. I sat and watched as many games as I could and was blown away at the level of play. One of the highlights for my son was being able to listen to Norman Powell speak to the all the kids. One of the first things my boy said after the camp was “Dad when we get home I’m going work to get better for next year". The Phenom National Camp itself was completely professional with friendly staff that was able to answer any question my wife and I had and if they did not have the answer they were able to find it. All around I was very impressed with Phenom, the staff and the athletes competing. Jace is already registered for Phenom National Camp 2023. If you are on the fence about attending the camp I highly recommend you do so you will not be disappointed.
We attended the inaugural Phenom National camp back in 2005. In addition, we attended for another five years. While the competition was great and was a who’s who for national level prospects that went on to play at the collegiate and NBA level, it was the relationship and friends we made that will last a lifetime.
My son was in Japan when we first attended Phenom. He was a very good player in Japan, however as an American he had never played against top American talent and we wanted him to have that challenge. He played extremely well that year and it changed his approach to not only the game of basketball but also his approach to eating and grades and all of the nuances of the game. He was an 8th grader at the time. He attended the camp 3 more times during HS. We credit his first experience as the one that put him on the road to becoming an elite player. This year he had an opportunity to come back and attend the weekend festivities. Being a member of the Phenom family he was fortunate to get a workout with Jordan Lawley, a top trainer. As a member of the Phenom family, my son received continued support in pursuit of his dreams. I am actually typing this in front of the practice facility of the Utah Jazz in which my son was selected as the only athlete to attend a Jazz camp for the G league. Thank you Jordan Lawley, Thank you Joe Keller and thank you Phenom!
First and foremost, thank you for orchestrating an elite camp experience comprised of high caliber leadership, coaches, and youth. I have had the opportunity to experience various camps throughout my career, and by far your camp structure and overall focus on building a complete student athlete resonated and truly set your organization a part. As a follow up to our conversation, I look forward to hearing more and exploring next steps. Our primary focus is to ensure that our son, William Phillips, not only excels on the court, but off the court as well. Such opportunities would give him the ability to do so and allow for him to continue to excel within his education. I look forward to connecting August 16 as mentioned. In the interim, if there is any additional information you need from me, please let me know. It was a true pleasure meeting your wife and son. Basketball is woven into the fabric of our family as well and is truly a love we all share and at the heart of our business. Wishing you success as you prepare for Hawaii and the upcoming Phenom Camp.
My son attended the 2022 Camp in San Diego. Overall experience was great. Would definitely go again. The talent we saw and training at this camp was like no other camp he has been too. My only complaints are the registration process was long! I would also recommend the Jr phenom and older kids be separated, way too many kids in one building.
My name is Curtis Houlder. I was a parent first at Phenom America national camp and appreciated everything Joe Keller and his staff did for my son and other players I brought out to phenom. It was a exceptional experience for me, i decided to coach the following year and had a tremendous experience learning from other coaches and building everlasting bonds not only with thw players I coached but within the Phenom America family. If there is one camp anyone or any player should experience at least once in there life time. Whether coaching or as a parent, this camp will change your way of think how the game is taught and how it is played.
My son has attended The Phenom Camp for a total of 4 years. In a three period, this platform gives the players a slight insight into what it takes to compete on a college level. It builds character and give players a true gage as it relates to higher level competition. It embarks on the educational aspect of sports (Today’s recruiting process; Film study; etc.). It includes in depth conversation with current and past NBA Players. There’s also a realistic informative discussion with the parents followed by a question/answer period. The Camp does not guarantee any of the athletes a scholarship, but it puts both the parent and athlete on the right path to earning one…
“Hats off to Mr. Joe Keller and the Phenom Family for a PHENOMINAL EXPERIENCE!!!”
KJ Wharton
Coach
Last summer was my first camp coaching at Phenom and now I'm forever committed to Phenom as this is the best camp in the world. I had the honor of coaching some of the best talent in the World... from Canada, Australia, Japan, and the elite of the elite representing all 50 states here in the USA and can not wait to do it again! I've been honored to have made connection and kept in touch with a lot of talent because of Phenom. I've made new life long friends that are coaches and share the same love of the game of basketball and passion for seeing talented young players get better and succeed. Phenom is way more than basketball though... Phenom is education, Phenom is development of character, Phenom is development of skills, Phenom is the highest level of competition, but most importantly Phenom is family.
Daryl Harrison
Coach
I have been part of Phenom for the part 7 years now and have been so happy to be a part of coaching at the camps. The relationship built with the Keller family and phenom staff have been wonderful. The relationships with the players I have coaches over the years and their families is beyond meaningful. To receive updates on them playing, graduation announcements to also recruiting players to come play for me at the next level. This is more then about the game of basketball and Phenom understands this. Looking forward to the 20th anniversary event.
What Coaches Are Saying
Lance Crenshaw
Coach
Being able to change a kids life through the game of basketball is a blessing, and being a part of Phenom America has given me the opportunity to continue to do that. The connections I have been able to make and the relationships I have been able garner through Phenom America with people who share the same ideas and views on youth basketball are ones that will last a lifetime, and for that I am truly grateful.
Lucas Archuleta
Coach
I was fortunate enough to work multiple phenom national camps in San Diego, CA in my young coaching career, not only was it a great learning experience for the campers but was a great learning experience for my coaching career as well. It’s a high-level camp that is very professional, organized and has tons of young talent at all age groups. It’s very organized, structured and has tons of high-level coaches instructing the campers which allows players to learn what it would be like to play at the college level and beyond. A very unique camp unlike any other in the country where players get to go through not only on court training, competitive games but players also get to go through film study sessions and informative camp talks which is important to help campers learn how to think the game and how to carry themselves off the court. Overall would highly recommend this camp for any players who are considering attending, you will receive national exposure, high level teaching, compete against elite competition and the overall structure of the camp will no doubt get you better.
Casey Seawright
Coach
Good afternoon. My name is Casey Seawright and I worked at Phenom Camp in 2016. It was a good experience and the minute my child was old enough I wanted to bring him. I loved the film sessions and the bond I made with other coaches. It was a great learning experience for me as a coach.
Dale "Coach D" Miller
Coach
As a professional basketball player, basketball trainer, AAU Coach, middle and state champion high school coach, I can say that I have been around some basketball. I have seen many camps thrown by many different people. As a father of 4 boys that want to play, I can honestly say that the Phenom Basketball Camp is one of the only camps that I will allow my boys to attend. I had the pleasure of working with Joe Keller and his family with their 2022 Phenom Boys Camp and I must say that it was well put together. It's very hard to find that many coaches in one place that actually and genuinely care about the kids. There were real people there trying to help kids better themselves and get to that next level. I met some really great people that will be friends for life and enjoyed myself in San Diego. I will without a doubt stay connected and coaching with these guys!
