Nike Basketball Camp at Hood College is led by Camp Director Jourdain Blackmon. Blackmon has over seven years of coaching experience and has worked at nearly 20 Nike Basketball Camps since 2014. He is a high school basketball coach at Timbercreek High School in Sicklerville, New Jersey, and a former trainer who has worked with athletes including Kyle Hines (CSKA), Tyler Hines, Jamar Johnson, Najee Lane, and Jasmine Martin, all of whom played basketball overseas. Blackmon graduated from Timbercreek High School and then from Clark Atlanta University with a bachelor’s degree in business management, where he played point guard from 2006–2010 and was part of a team that won its division with a 24–7 record, ranked #17 in the nation, and earned an automatic bid to the NCAA II Tournament; in that season he was #3 in the nation in steals. He is currently in graduate school for a degree in athletic directorship, and the camp uses Pro Level Training staff instruction. The camp’s stated mission is to provide players with the skills and mental approach they need to become a better and more explosive player. Lunch is not provided at this camp, and campers are asked to bring a packed or sack lunch each day. Flexible cancellation options are available.
Parent reviews from recent seasons mention individual coaching and staff willingness to spend extra time with campers, as well as returning campers feeling comfortable with the camp director and coaches. Reviews from 2019–2025 describe positive interactions between coaches and kids, attention to skill work, and coaches knowing campers by name. One 2021 review notes that staff responded to a parent’s safety concerns about pick up and drop off by arranging access to a secured parking lot close to the building without a fee, and also mentions that the camp used social media to highlight camp activities.
