Who thrives here Ages 13–18

Hoop2Nite+ serves high-school campers, which means the program is competing against summer jobs, college visits, internships, and residential overnight options. The case for a day camp at this age is usually a CIT (counselor-in-training) track, deep specialization in sports, or a portfolio item parents and kids both value. Programs that don't articulate one of those three usually lose this age band by 9th grade.

Frequently asked about Hoop2Nite+

What ages does Hoop2Nite+ accept?
Hoop2Nite+ is open to children ages 13–18. Camps publish their own age cutoffs, and some run mixed-age groups internally; check the registration page for that summer's grouping if your child sits at a boundary.
What are Hoop2Nite+'s hours?
Hoop2Nite+ runs 6:00 pm - 9:00 pm. If those hours don't quite cover your work day, check whether extended care or early drop-off is offered separately.
Who runs Hoop2Nite+?
Hoop2Nite+ is operated by the local parks department. The operator type matters for tuition policy (refunds, financial aid eligibility) and for what kind of staff training pipeline the camp uses.
Does Hoop2Nite+ provide lunch?
Hoop2Nite+ does not include lunch — campers bring their own. Most day camps without provided lunch are nut-free or nut-aware, so check the allergy policy before packing. Frozen water bottles double as ice packs and drinks; insulated lunch boxes hold below 40°F for about four hours.
How does Hoop2Nite+ compare to other sports camps in Jacksonville?
Hoop2Nite+ is one of 55 sports camps in Jacksonville that overlap its age range. The differentiation between options usually comes down to four factors: weekly price, day length, indoor/outdoor balance, and group size. Browse same-city alternatives in the directory to compare side by side.
