Illinois College announced on Mar. 31 that its annual Men’s Basketball Camp will be held from June 15 to June 17, 2026, according to Head Coach Steve Schweer. The camp is open to boys entering grades four through nine in the fall of 2026, with a junior camp available for those entering grades two and three.
The basketball camp aims to teach fundamentals and individual skills such as shooting, ball handling, passing, defense, and post moves. It will also cover advanced techniques in team offense and defense with both three-on-three and five-on-five game play. Campers will receive instruction from local coaches as well as current members of the Illinois College Blue Boys roster.
Each participant will get a camp T-shirt, and awards for outstanding campers will be presented by staff on the final day. Full-day campers are required to bring their own lunch each day; all attendees should have their own water bottle or container. Participation requires following Illinois College rules and submitting a signed waiver from a parent or guardian before the first day of camp.

The team plays home games at an on-campus gymnasium in Jacksonville, Illinois as outlined by the college. The program is part of the Midwest Conference according to school information.
