About
Summer Hanzlik Hoops Camp includes fundamentals and drills, skill stations, contests for prizes, small and large team competition, games in a league format, and the Annual Free Throw Pledge. Campers are divided onto teams and courts based on age and skill level, and morning coed sessions use a smaller ball and 9-foot hoops. Each camper receives a camp t-shirt, wins at least one prize, and has the chance to win tickets to a 2026–27 Denver Nuggets game.
• Ages: 7–15 years old
• Schedule: Two four-day weeks in July 2026, with morning and afternoon sessions for 2nd–9th grade boys and girls (grades based on the 2026–2027 school year)
• Price: $145/player for Morning Sessions; $165/player for Afternoon Sessions
Summer Hanzlik Hoops Camp runs Week 1 from July 13–16, 2026, and Week 2 from July 20–23, 2026, with morning coed sessions for 2nd–4th grade and afternoon sessions for 4th–9th grade boys and girls, depending on the week. The camp is recreational to intermediate in level, uses a 1:8 player-to-coach ratio with professional and relatable coaches, and offers an optional Annual Free Throw Pledge to raise money and win prizes. Families can add on a mini-Stomp mat at registration with a $10 discount, and scholarships are available.
Summer Hanzlik Hoops Camp is part of the Gold Crown Foundation, which was founded in 1986 by former Denver Nuggets player Bill Hanzlik and Denver business leader Ray Baker. Gold Crown Foundation CEO and co-founder Bill Hanzlik started this camp for all girls in 1986, is present at all camp sessions each day, and brings energy and fun to the camp experience. The leadership team includes Bill Hanzlik (Chief Executive Officer/Co-Founder), Kevin Petty (Executive Director), Fran Baker (Impacts Director), Tara Leipheimer (Director of Finance), Coby Chaney (Development Director), Meghan Overton (Marketing Director), Jordan O'Brien (Partnership Development Manager), Keira Collins (Digital Marketing and Grants Manager), Jeff Petty (Sports Operations Director), Mark Rusch (Sports Program Director/Outreach), Jordan Crowe (Sports Programs Director), April Thompson (Sports Program Director), Sean Fredrickson (Sports Program Director), Dillon Barkman (Facilities Director), Alyssa Svalberg (Facilities Assistant Director), Landrey Terry (Facilities Coordinator), Brittany David (Enrichment Director and BBTTC Clubhouse Coordinator), Galen Shoe (Enrichment Innovation Director and Edgewater Clubhouse Coordinator), Seth Kenton (Career Pathways Coordinator), Oscar Guevara (Mentor Coordinator), and Celine Maes (Assistant Clubhouse Coordinator). The Gold Crown Foundation states that it is proud to “prepare kids for the game of life,” inside and outside of the classroom and on and off the court.
Gold Crown Foundation offers boys and girls basketball, volleyball, golf, and enrichment programs to more than 15,000 youth annually and provides camps, clinics, leagues, and tournaments for 6–20 year olds in Colorado and surrounding states. Since 1986, it has grown into one of the state’s largest youth sports providers with 16,000 participants, 1,600 volunteers, and 40 program offerings throughout the year, and it assigns more than 15,000 basketball games annually through its officiating program. Gold Crown Enrichment is a free, drop-in program, and the foundation operates two sports complexes, Coca-Cola All-Star Park and the Gold Crown Field House. Over the years, the foundation has focused on affordability and low-income support, providing nearly $900,000 each year in subsidized program fees.
Gold Crown Foundation has a four-year partnership with Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric, a locally owned Denver company. It offers free facility use to several community partners, including Special Olympics Colorado, National Sports Center for the Disabled, Jeffco Adaptive Athletics, Easter Seals, Colorado Wheelchair Basketball, and Adam’s Camp. Denver Public Schools families can use My Spark dollars for any Gold Crown program.
