Basketball – it’s one sport that Filipinos cannot get enough of. It’s common for you to see daily basketball games taking place within neighborhoods during late afternoons. On a personal note, my husband plays basketball with his friends maybe twice or three times a week. It’s like the sport is ingrained within every Filipino’s DNA makeup. Filipinos take “Ball is Life” to a whole new level. It’s one of the reasons why basketball camps, like the Alaska Basketball Power Camp, become so successful.

Every year, Alaska organizes a basketball program under the Alaska Power Camp. It’s a 10-day activity supervised by Alaska Basketball Camp Director Jeffrey Cariaso. These camps are open to boys and girls ages 6 to 18 years old. This year, Alaska has seven basketball camps:
