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!
