Youth Summer Camp
Join the Detroit Pistons Training Camp Tour


The Detroit Pistons’ Training Camp Tour is a four-day basketball experience that travels throughout the state of Michigan each summer. Its purpose is simple: to impact youth by improving their skills in basketball and the game of life. Now in its 12th season, the Training Camp Tour has hosted 22,000 campers statewide and in northeastern Ohio.

Campers (grades 1st through 11th) will be instructed in basketball fundamentals such as ball handling, defense, passing, rebounding and shooting and enjoy daily contests like Free Throws, Hot Shot, Knock-Out (Lightning) and Beat the Pro for trophies and prizes. Campers end each day with action-packed 5-on-5 games with players of a similar age and skill level.

Training Camp staff members emphasize fundamentals and also life-building values like teamwork, character and leadership. On the last day of Training Camp, staff members will announce the Tayshaun Prince Attitude Award, Rip Hamilton Hustle Award, Rasheed Wallace Most Improved Player Award and Chauncey Billups Most Valuable Player Award.

Each camper will receive a red, white and blue Pistons basketball and an authentic navy blue Pistons Training Camp reversible jersey. Registered campers also receive Pistons merchandise and game tickets at discounted “camper-only” prices.
