About Us: Basketball Smiles is a non-profit organization that conducts FREE basketball camps and life-skills programs for Junior High and High School aged children in the poorest, most at-risk areas of The Bahamas.
Our programs are designed to develop leadership qualities and raise the children’s academic expectations and self-esteem. Basketball Smiles encourages the children to be active, conscientious citizens through activities that help them become developed:
Socially
Morally
Emotionally
Physically
Cognitive
With the basketball court as a laboratory, we encourage campers to set goals, cultivate self-discipline and choose lifestyles that do not include drugs and violence. Campers are rewarded for good choices and they are exposed to an environment that fosters mutual respect and personal responsibility. www.basketballsmiles.org. Donations are accepted through Venmo or PayPal - please note we are a 501(c)3 non-profit charity and your gift is tax-deductible.
Since 1999 Basketball Smiles has brought a week of smiles & hope through basketball to over 12,000 Bahamian boys and girls. 26th Anniversary Camp dates are June 16-19, 2025.
