Greg Koubek led Shenendehowa High to the NY State Championship in 1987. He was selected NY State Mr. Basketball and McDonald’s All-American. Greg was the first person in NCAA history to play in FOUR Final Fours and was Captain of Duke’s 1991 National Championship Team. In 1991 he started his basketball camps to share his experience and passion by teaching basketball to others.

They take a personal interest in each camper to help them improve their game, reach their goals, build confidence, teach them life skills, and have a good time.

Go Kids Lego School Break Camps were designed to keep brains moving in a different way than the traditional Go Kids programming. Each child will be given an individual challenge as well as small group challenges throughout the camp morning. They will sketch, build and present their finished work to their peers. No supplies are necessary; all Legos will be provided by Go Kids. Due to the structure of this class, all students must be able to build their Lego creations independently. Weather permitting, we will take a break to play outside.
