Step It Up Basketball Sleep Away Camp
WHAT IS STEP IT UP?
Camp Step It Up is a sleepaway camp for basketball players. We take a 360 approach in the way we teach the game while providing the full summer experience for all of our campers.
Basketball is taught at a high level. It’s at the forefront of what we do but Camp Step It Up is much more than just basketball. Afternoon electives and evening activities complement the basketball schedule. Full day field trips are taken every two weeks. Daily ‘Step It Up Talks’ about an array of topics round out the on-court work.
The food is really good. The staff is experienced and supportive and the program is well thought out. Check out our schedule below.
Boys Campus and Girls Campus have three daily meals together, take field trips together and enjoy Shabbat together. With the exception of that, the programs are run independently.
Camp Step It Up provides an innovative specialized training program with an emphasis on skill development and developing the overall character of our campers.
ON THE COURT
We tackle every facet of the game, both on and off the court. Our dedicated team of coaches have developed and designed a proven program that empowers our campers, enhances their basketball skills, encourages teamwork and sportsmanship, and instills confidence in every aspect of our campers’ lives.
Campers are immersed in a variety of training from skill development to speed training, physical strength training, mental sharpness, self awareness and game theory. Our experienced and highly motivational team prepares our campers for tomorrow’s game and the road ahead.
Much more than a basketball camp, at Step It Up We take great interest in each one of our campers and challenge them to embrace hard work, challenge themselves intellectually and reach heights never imagined.
We take full advantage of our time with the players to instill these, and more skills as a supplement to our basketball curriculum.
I felt that at Step It Up I was able to be the kid I wanted to be.
Max arrived home today from step it up (both New Hampshire and Israel). “I had the greatest time of my life” words a parent wants to hear! Max’s stories about his experience are truly amazing!
Coach Yogev and the Staff at Step It Up are masters in their craft. Step It Up helped me completely transform my body in preparation for my college basketball career.
The work ethic and go getter mentality that Step It Up instilled in me was actually carried over to my schoolwork and classwork.
Gabriel had a tremendous year! Granted he went there for Basketball and all the training , discipline, focus that goes with it! What we didn’t expect is the mental training he received!
our team
Step It Up coaches are experts in their areas of focus. Our staff roster brings together over 30 current and former college and professional players, coaches, and sports specialists. Each camper is challenged to define his goals upon his arrival at camp, all while receiving encouragement and support throughout the program from our team of experts.
Our summer program offers an unparalleled 5:1 player to coach ratio.
Players are divided by age and skill level. Grades 3/4, 5/6, 7/8, 9/10, 11/12, NCAA. Players work in small focused groups throughout our 200 acre campus. While 3 point guards are working on court vision and decision making and another 5 forwards are working on post moves, there are 4 more kids in a classroom working on self awareness and good morals and values that they can apply internally and out into their community. These life lessons are a staple of what we do and how we do it. Our coaches and counselors are background checked to ensure that your child is not only coached by qualified professionals, but are also in a safe and supporting environment while away from home for the summer.
Founder and Camp Director
Owned and operated by Yogev Berdugo, a rising star in skill development and coaching in the country today. Yogev is a former D1 NCAA college basketball player and professional player in Israel. Upon founding Step It Up in 2009, we set out on a journey to advance the game of basketball. Since day one we have stayed true to our craft with an unwavering commitment to skill development, character development and daily growth. As we enter our seventh year, the hard work is paying off. The feedback from players and parents has been tremendous and the results are apparent on and off the court. Year round, Yogev, lends his expertise in consulting for high school and middle school teams by implementing different schemes, running skills clinics and designing practice plans and full season curriculums.
In the springtime, Yogev develops current and perspective NBA Players for the NBA Draft as well as European Leagues.
Yogev served as assistant men’s basketball coach at Yeshiva University where he helped build a winning tradition along with coach Elliot Steinmetz. The two established a fast paced yet methodical offense. Yeshiva University has recently come off of a 50 game winning streak dating back to Feb 2019. Out of 400 D3 basketball teams YU ranks top 5 in both FG %, Total Offense and Assists per game. Half of YU’s rosters as well as 3 impact players for the Yeshiva University Maccabees are Step It Up kids and that makes us so happy. Go Macs!

Coming to Sixers Camp as a kid from Europe in 98, I was blessed with the opportunity to taste the U.S. Basketball culture. My 4 week experience at camp introduced me to the speed, athleticism, skill and mentality of U.S. Basketball. It ultimately surfaced as my foundation to my belief in hard work and excellence and propelled me into a lifelong love for the game of basketball.
Lukas Varga
From the time I was nine until I was seventeen, 76ers Basketball Camp was my summer home. Even though I was never the most gifted basketball player, the work I put in at 76ers Camp provided me with the groundwork to be a successful player. I would often improve more in the 2 weeks at 76ers Camp than I would for the entire rest of the year.
