Ballin' By Da Beach was established in 2010 by an enthusiastic woman, Nairn, who was passionate about basketball and searched for opportunities to share her passion with others. Since then, the organization has been providing boys and girls with the tools needed to achieve their basketball goals.
"We are privileged to be the main basketball camp in The Bahamas," said Nairn.
Nairn said that both boys and girls should improve their basketball skills and have fun at the camps. The camps start at only $50 per camper.
