Basketballcamp
Unforgettable summer experiences: Stories of friendships, adventures and fascinating discoveries.
Since 2014, it has become a cherished tradition: Every year, our Munich basketball kids embark on an unforgettable trip to Bögöz, where captivating experiences await them in the midst of our small sleepy town. Together with the local children, the guests from Germany regularly take part in a sports and encounter camp. Seven days full of experiences, adventures and friendships. Seven unforgettable days that will be deeply imprinted in their memories.
