The Hawai‘i County Department of Parks and Recreation is extending the discounted early-registration fee for its Fourth Annual Jimmy Yagi Summer Hoops Camp that returns to Hilo July 26 through 29.
Parents who have not yet signed up their keiki may still take advantage of the reduced $60-per-child entry fee that was to have expired July 13.
New registrations will be accepted up until the first day of camp, July 26.
Open to boys and girls 9 to 17 years old, the camp will be held at the Afook-Chinen Civic Auditorium and the Pana‘ewa Covered Play Courts, which feature new flooring.

A team of coaches will instruct and supervise campers as they practice agility, ball-handling and other drills during morning skill sessions.
Following a lunch break, players will showcase what they’ve learned by competing in games expected to last until about 3:30 p.m. each day.
Special awards will be presented to outstanding participants at the close of the four-day camp.
