“This will be our second year in Boise and we could not be happier to have found a partner in Capital High,” explains Carson Sofro, HSBCAMPS Founder. “We had some great support from the local community last year, and were able to put the kids face-to-face with some great pro players including 2010 NBA D-League MVP and Houston Rocket Reserve, Mike Harris.” HSBCAMPS prides itself as a youth basketball program that “gives back”, donating a portion of every programs proceeds to schools and non-profits within each of the communities they serve.
