Bay Gardens Resorts in stunning Saint Lucia have been the perfect getaway for many successful international sports stars, and hosted several events including children’s sports camps and youth charity events. Former NBA superstar and Coach Jerome Kersey recently visited Saint Lucia to both host a youth basketball camp and vacation at the Bay Gardens Beach Resort & Spa.
