The 27th Annual Jeff Rodgers Basketball Camp will run from June 30 - July 25, this year, for boys and girls, ages 5-19, and will be conducted at the Kendal G.L. Isaacs National Gymnasium. The camp will run from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., Monday to Friday.
The Jeff Rodgers camps are based on character-building through the fundamentals of basketball and discipline, and they get more and more exciting each year, with new activities always being added. A number of international professional basketball players and coaches including former National Basketball Association (NBA) great Mychal 'Sweet Bells' Thompson, legendary Tyrone 'Muggsy' Bouges, Coach Byron Scott, Kyrie Irving of the Cleveland Cavaliers, Klay Thompson and Coach Mark Jackson from the Golden State Warriors, and professional basketball player Michael Thompson Jr., are among the special guests coming to town for the camp. University Coach Scott Burrell will also be looking out for top basketball talent.

Johnson, the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC), Bahamas Business Solutions, the Broadcasting Corporation of The Bahamas (ZNS), the Ministry of Tourism, Columbian Emeralds, Sapodilla Restaurant, Caribbean Bottling Co., Baha Mar, Atlantis, Jewel's Party Supplies and Nautilus Water. Their contributions are most valued and appreciated, said tournament organizer Jeffrey Rodgers.

A number of satellite camps will be hosted throughout the island, including Carmichael Road, Flamingo Gardens, Pinewood Gardens, Elizabeth Estates, Fox Hill, Kemp Road, Mason's Addition, Hay Street, and Christie Park on Nassau Street.
