our opinion

We believe that camp is a good idea because Micheal Jordan is present for the children who go there. It is a great motivation, which can make they learn more. The downside is that the camp is paid, it would be better if it was free, and people can apply for a pass to the camp.
If the camp cant not be for free, at least, that prices could be cheaper, Because 400 thousand pesos for 5 days at camp, we found it is excessive.
But without worrying about the price, who does not like to spend 4 whole days playing with the biggest star that has played in the NBA?


Other sportspeople involved

Because this camp belongs to Jordan, no other athletes who participate consistently, or who have investments in school, but often celebrities, like carmelo anthony, make appearances surprises.
In the next video, you can see the when Carmelo Anthony appears at 2009 edition of the camp.

What does michael at school?

Jordan is present in 4 of the 5 days of the school, where he teaches the skills that took him to glory
In those 4 days, michael gives motivational talks, he interact with campers, he signing autographs and he arbitrates games and more.
Michael makes a contest every year where he gives his shoes to the camper who can pass all the challenges.
