Welcome

Picture of kids attending the basketball camp The Michael Lee Simms Basketball Camp is dedicated to the memory of Michael Lee Simms. The Michael Lee Simms Basketball Camp is a not-for-profit organization offering free basketball skills training to youth between 10 and 13 years of age. At the present time, participants of the camp will be chosen from Chicagoland schools. Our goal is to hold camps twice a year during the summer months when school is not in session. The camps are designed to teach and help youth learn and improve upon their basketball skills while learning the importance of self esteem, teamwork, the value of discipline, and hard work needed for a successful future.

Learn about Michael. Find out how you can get involved, and help us share the love of basketball with our youth. We want to help our youth shoot for the stars no matter what their dream.

Comments about the June 2014 Basketball Camp:

"I just want to thank you all for having my son at Mike's camp these past couple days. He's been so excited coming home sharing the experience with me and just walked in so lit up! Lol I'm sitting here right now fighting back tears cause I'm so happy the camp went well, and thinking about how excited Mike would be to share something he loved so much with so many people. God is so good. Sending you all my love and the biggest hug this email can hold!!" Shannon
