This summer, we are featuring "Camper Moments" every Wednesday from our different camps and locations.  Let us know what camps you are interested in learning more about at: purchase@fscamps.com.

Meet Ethan.  Ethan is enrolled in basketball camp and is a star kid on and off the court.  He has been a camper here for 6 years and LOVES basketball and all of the friends that he makes while playing.  Ethan comfortably chats with Meg Griffin and shares his Future Stars experience.

Hi Ethan! So, what is your favorite part about camp?

Ethan:  "The games are my favorite part.  I also love the cafeteria."

That's funny so many kids here love the cafeteria, so I'm not surprised you said that.  So how did you hear about future stars?

Ethan:  "Well, both my brother and sister came here.  My sister was a counselor in Circus Camp last year, and my brother came here when he was younger."

How old were you when you started here?

Ethan:  "I was 6, and now I'm 11."

Do you usually play with other kids that are 11?

Ethan:  "Yeah, I either play with kids that are 11 or a little older"

(Jess Lindsay, Assistant Director of Future Stars Basketball Camps, overhears our conversation and shares.)

Jess Lindsay:  "Kids are typically placed in same age groups, but Ethan has been coming here for a number of years and we have recognized that he usually works best when he is challenged by playing with kids who are a little older.  So here he plays with kids from ages 11 all the way to 15"

Do you play basketball year-round?

Ethan:  "Yeah I play for my middle school team and I play travel basketball during the year"

What is your favorite team?

Ethan:  "NBA or college? NBA, I like the Nicks, but for college basketball, I root for Duke"

Do you want to go to Duke when you're older?

Ethan:  "Yes, I really want to go there and play basketball"

So you want to keep up basketball all through Middle School, High School, and College?!

Ethan:  "Yes!"

That's awesome.  So who is your best friend at camp?

Ethan:  "Probably Devin (Eliana's brother)."

Well, thank you for talking to me, have fun at camp!
