For the seventh consecutive summer, Camp Daniel has set up its courts and cheer pads in the heart of Knoxville, Tennessee, offering a basketball and cheer experience tailored for participants of all abilities.
Co‑heads Neek and Angela Phillips, who also lead the girls basketball team at Grace Christian Academy, guide the camp with a philosophy that places love and service above competition.
This year the camp welcomed a record 50 campers, many of whom have been part of the program since its inaugural season, reflecting a growing trust in the inclusive environment the organizers have cultivated.
Beyond the drills and routines, the camp’s curriculum emphasizes teamwork, confidence‑building, and community engagement, turning each session into a celebration of service.
A Legacy of Inclusion
The seventh edition of Camp Daniel not only marks a numerical milestone but also reaffirms the power of sport to bridge gaps and foster belonging.
