Bantam Elite Basketball Camp - Est. 2000 |

Joe’s Camp is an annual bantam elite basketball camp held every August in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Each year, 40 of the top mini and bantam players in Nova Scotia are invited to attend. The camp is non-profit and is therefore affordable for everyone.
Since the first camp in 2000, many former Joe’s Campers have went on to play high school and college basketball in Canada and the United States. Also, many former Joe’s Campers have represented Nova Scotia on various provincial teams. |
