Since 1993 Sarah has grown Behn Basketball to be the largest and most successful camp in New England. Over the past 29 years she has cultivated an expert group of directors, some of which have been with her for all 29 years, to help teach her curriculum at our various locations. Her passion for teaching, attention to fundamentals, and love of basketball has helped develop a unique group of loyal coaches who return to camp summer after summer.
