The Wilson Swiss All Star Basketball 

Welcome to the Largest Sports Camp in Europe!

Located in scenic Zofingen, Switzerland, our camp has grown from a humble beginning in the early 1980s with just 25 campers to welcoming an average of 500 campers per week for three exciting weeks each summer. Campers from over 30 countries, ages 8 to 19, come together for an unforgettable experience of skill-building, competition, and fun.

Camp Highlights:

  • World-Class Coaching & Support: With over 60 dedicated coaches and staff, including a full medical team, every camper receives personalized attention and training. Campers are grouped by age and skill level, ensuring a tailored experience with at least two experienced coaches guiding each group.

  • Intensive Training: Campers participate in two to three practices per day, with daily competition activities to enhance both individual and team skills. Exciting events include 3-on-3 tournaments, skill races, 3-point and dunk contests, and all-star games where campers can compete against their coaches!

  • Closing Ceremony Awards: Celebrate achievements with accolades, trophies, and prizes like Best Player, Most Improved, and the Spirit of the Camp award, recognizing the camper who inspires others.

Fun Beyond the Court:

  • Activities for All Interests: From video games on 15 Xbox consoles to a massive outdoor water park with slides, diving boards, and beach volleyball, there’s plenty to enjoy during free time.

  • Community Events: Each week includes a BBQ where coaches grill hamburgers for everyone, plus a Friday night dance for older campers, a ladies-only night in the gym, and a camp-wide talent show.

  • Secure & Comfortable Environment: Campers enjoy comfortable housing and three nutritious meals each day. A camp bank provides safe storage for valuables, so campers can relax and focus on having fun!

Unforgettable Entertainment:

The week culminates in the legendary Coach’s Concert, where our staff and coaches put on a show featuring iconic performances (including a “cameo” from Mick Jagger himself!). This concert is just one of the many memories that make our camp experience one of a kind.

Join us in Zofingen for a summer that combines top-tier sports training, a global community, and non-stop fun!
