Shann Ferch, Division I athlete and Pro player Germany's highest level

"NBC CAMPS has done a great job of setting themselves apart from their competition. I don’t think anyone would disagree that they give their campers not only great basketball instruction, but also an unforgettable EXPERIENCE. Their evening programs and summer themes are life-changing. My amazing parents will tell you that they consider NBC Camps to be one of the best investments they ever made in my life." Mike Nilson, Former Gonzaga Elite 8 WCC defensive player of the year European Pro

I just wanted to send a little note to say thank you. This summer was incredible. I was challenged beyond what I anticipated. I was stretched in my faith. I made so many new friends and connections. I got to see more of our beautiful country. I was affected by the stories of so many campers. I grew immensely in my coaching and leadership skills. And I was absolutely exhausted at the end of it all, but I had so, so much fun. Thank you so much for setting it all up and sending me off this summer. It truly was a blessing to be immersed in the NBC culture, to experience it differently at the various sites, to walk through the challenges that presented themselves and to grow. Thank you! Love from London Cara Olden, European Player

"My name is Angela and I am a professional basketball coach in Rome. My passion is basketball. At one point, my desire was to be one of Italy’s best players. The highlight of my career was when Italy defeated the USA in the 1993 World Games. I have played basketball at the highest level and I have experienced many great learning opportunities. Today my motivation is to coach Italy’s Olympic team. When I saw NBC Camps for the first time, I knew this would be a great opportunity for me to learn more about coaching basketball, especially the technical and motivational aspects of the game. This past summer I spent 10 days in the United States at Crowell’s Intensity Camp. NBC Camps is fantastic. Being part of NBC Camps is one of the best experiences of my life and I am a better coach for it. NBC Camps will make you a better player, but more importantly, you will be a better person." Angela Vavotici, Professional Coach-Italy NBC College Prep Coach

"Choosing to attend NBC Camps was perhaps the single most important decision I made as a young student in molding my future. As a camper, I was challenged to discover that I could push myself much further than I ever thought possible. I was fortunate enough to earn a full scholarship to play college basketball, and it was because of the foundation I gained at NBC." Rhett Soliday, Head Men’s Basketball Coach, Vanguard University of Southern California

"As a kid with big dreams of playing basketball at the highest level, my best friend and I attended NBC Camps. It was an amazing opportunity to improve my basketball skills with awesome coaches, but also develop myself personally and spiritually. Being at an overnight camp was such a fun and unique experience and I remember feeling mature because I was on my own but also safe. NBC Camps is a hoop junkie’s paradise!!" Clint Hordemann, Former College Player; Boise State University VP of Player Development; Idaho Select Basketball

"It was a tremendous experience being a part of the NBC Camp... this camp will have a lasting impact on everyone that was involved!" Mike Wilks, WAC Player of the Year 8 Yr NBA Veteran

"Before working with NBC Camps, I'd never ever seen any organization effectively combine life skills and basketball training. Usually either the basketball is weak or the character piece absent. The NBC Way is the straight up truth when it comes to developing the whole athlete - person and player." Norman Coulter, Founder of 6IXTH MAN Curriculum Consulting Coaching

"NBC Camps is all about excellence on and off the court. For the past 11 years I have seen both boys and girls make drastic changes in their basketball game and in their lives as well. NBC camps instill a much better work ethic in your game all while emphasizing doing the right thing on and off the court. Who would not want to send their son or daughter to such and incredible camp! NBC Camps teaches Basketball fundamentals and also lays a great foundation to succeed in life." Coach Jon King, Simpson University Head Men’s Basketball Coach

"When I think back on all of the experiences and moments that have made a huge impact on my life, one that comes to mind was attending NBC Basketball Camps. NBC Camps helped lay the foundation of the man I want to be and the man that I have become." Gabriel S. Cagwin, Ph.D. Former Camper UCLA Athletics

"The summer of August, 2014 our son and family had the most amazing experience at our very first NBC College Basketball Prep Camp in Newberg and McMinnville, Oregon. Our son Rakeem Hughey was taught much needed basketball skills by some very great coaches, the father and son team, Jay and Fred Crowell.TThey taught the kids to believe in and trust God for what you need. Second thing they taught them was to believe in themselves. Third, if you want something bad enough you must first work twice as hard as everyone else on a consistent basis. There is never time off, work-out everyday. At the end of the day or game as parents we need to just love our kids when they have done their very best and let them hear that from us. We need to communicate we love them no matter if they win or lose.We have not meet a more honorable group of men and coaches that only want to help kids get better. They helped our son improve in one week transform things we couldn't get him to even recognize that he needed to improve in his game. They taught the kids to be honorable and respectable young men and women.This is by far one of the best camps our son has ever attended. The Crowell family rock for what they do with these kids. We would give them five stars. Rakeem Hughey came home motivated and ready to take care of business. He can't wait to attend all the camps next summer. He evens wants to help coach other kids at the camp in the near future." Rakeem, Rodney, and Vandale Hughey

"Although I didn't realize it at the time, NBC camps played a huge role in shaping me into the woman I am today. The camp leaders were amazing role models who I looked up to and who truly cared about me. They taught me to set goals and achieve them, to develop as a basketball player, to make smart life choices off the court. There is no better atmosphere for a child to grow up and mature in." Jami (Bjorkland) Schaefer, Former Gonzaga University Player

"If I sum it all up, NBC camps adds up to only months of my adolescence and early college years, but the impacts and effects NBC had on me will literally last a lifetime. In junior high, I was an awkward, big-footed, no talent, unconfident young man who desperately loved basketball and yet still had big dreams of playing in college. Summer after summer, NBC gave me the skills and the confidence to progress as a sound basketball player year after year and eventually excel to become that collegiate player." Landen Grant, Former Camper College Athlete

"All five members of my family have been connected to NBC Basketball Camps in one way or another at various times over the past 35 years. Most importantly, these experiences reinforced within our family core spiritual values, and secondly were instrumental in the fundamental development of two of my sons who went on to play basketball at the collegiate level. Prominently displayed upon the business desk of each today (one a banker the other a lawyer) are the golden rulers that each earned as young campers - symbolic of NBC Camp's commitment to the total development of its participants." Bill Ayers, Former High School Coach

"I have worked and have known about NBC camp for 30 years this summer. I can say that it is the Best basketball camp that you can send your kids to. They not only teach basketball skills but also about the game of life. Your child can experience a life changing week while at NBC camp. They will come away not only a better basketball player but also a better person." Jeff Hironaka, Washington State University Men's Assistant Basketball Coach

"NBC has had a tremendous impact on my life as a coach and as a person. When I was in high school, my brothers and I always looked forward to our one week at camp. I am grateful for the testimony and example of the many coaches that I had throughout the years. Professionally as a basketball coach, NBC gave me the foundation in fundamentals that I needed to become a successful coach. Not only was I personally taught these fundamentals, but also many of the coaches I played for or worked with were products of the NBC system. The NBC legacy of basketball excellence has been passed down to the third and fourth generations, and I am proud to be a part of that tradition." Aaron Spuler, High School Coach

"NBC Camps is an experience any aspiring basketball player needs to have. It promotes and teaches fundamental basketball, while equipping its campers with the life skills they need to be successful in today’s world. You will not find a better camp at breaking down the game of basketball in an exciting, hardworking atmosphere. Your camper will not return the same." Sammy Shackett, Assistant Coach, Cascade Christian Girls

"I went to your camp over 20 years ago and have never forgotten the wonderful experience. I have been wanting to get my daughters into your camp so they could have the same experience I had so many years ago. I will also never forget the motivational speeches. Thanks for the awesome experience, just wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your camp." Lynette Adamson, Larsen Former Camper

"NBC was a part of my life each summer as a young boy; challenging me to compete and grow as a player and a person. As a father, it was important for me to have my own children under that same influence, and for 10 summers my own girls have attended NBC. Finally, as a high school coach, NBC is an annual event for my team. It is a necessary part of my program. NBC’s focus on the total person is the differentiating factor for me. My kids are loved, respected, and challenged; the necessary ingredients for success. " Nate Riggan, CPA Former Camper and Coach

"NBC changed my life as a camper and taught me amazing work ethic. I do not believe that I would have become the player/person I did without learning how to really push myself at NBC Camps, not only on the court but in life. " Lindsay Petersen, Former Camper

"When Jacob, our oldest son was 9 years old my wife and I made a challenging decision. We put Jacob on an airplane by himself from Seattle to Spokane. We trusted the people at NBC Camps to take care of our son. Looking back over these past 15 years, my wife and I can say without reservation that NBC Camps has been the single best investment in the lives of our three children Jacob, Megan, and Jonnie. We believe the success of raising healthy and productive children requires partnering with quality people and organizations like NBC Camps. We have not found any other organization that matches NBC Camps dedication to partnering with parents to help our children win in the game of life." Frank Washburn, Former High School Principal

"As a coach, I love NBC Team Camp because it provides the perfect balance between individual skill work, growth as a team on the floor and the opportunity to discuss, implement and practice positive character traits. My players who have loved the camp experience all “get it”. They understand that all parts of the camp experience are important and valuable for overall team success. Those players who don’t enjoy NBC Team Camp have consistently been difficult teammates – unwilling to become part of the greater whole of our team. How my team plays in the tournaments on the final day of team camp has been an amazing predictor of how we will finish in the next state tournament." Greg Oldham, Former High School Coach YVCC, Men’s Assistant Coach

"I believe that NBC camps are the best there is for kids! My two sons attended the basketball camp for years - back in the 1980's when NBC first came to Alaska. And my grandson has now also attended basketball camps in Alaska as well as Spokane and Oregon. The camps have been a highlight of their basketball careers. And I was so thankful for a quality camp for them to attend. Not only does the camp teach excellent basketball skills, but also life skills. I have recommended NBC camps to many kids and parents over the years and will continue to do so! It's the best!!!" Peggy Lasher, Parent

"If you want an incredible team basketball camp that offers everything you want for your team, then you will want to experience NBC camps! NBC provides an energetic, intense, and positive atmosphere all week long. Not only are teams challenged in their team play, chemistry, and strategies, but individual players will also be challenged physically, mentally, and spiritually. NBC staff works right alongside the coach to provide a challenging and positive experience for their team. Speaking from many years of experience of bringing my teams to NBC camps, we have never experienced anything but the utmost quality, instruction, and motivation. It is a must do!" Beth Wing, Former High School Coach

"My son has never worked so hard at a camp, and I thought for sure he would not want to repeat it, but on the contrary he would have lived there. The coaching staff was a perfect blend of intense, kind, strong, dedicated, and tough. He thoroughly enjoyed his experience and we will definitely be back next year, hopefully some of the staff will too!!" Bridget Lepley, Parent of Camper

"Wonderful camp! Highly recommend for all players! NBC has great staff, kids learn a lot and greatly improve their game. Christian based camp that helps build character!

I think this is my fifth year with NBC and I am just as impressed as I was the first year.

If you are looking to become a complete player, with the hopes of playing beyond High School, I highly recommend NBC CAMPS. " Alexa Hubbard, Camper

Kids today can look at the NBA players and say just what I said when I was a kid, "I want to be like them right now." The coaches at this camp kept my sons heads out of the clouds and firmly planted on planted Earth. I hesitated to send them to a boy/girl camp but the experience has helped them grow." Donte' and JaQuille Robinson, Parents of Campers

"My kids have been attending NBC basketball camps for the past 5 years. Both love going and never want it to end. The one year that my daughter had a coach that sucked all the fun out of basketball was the one year that NBC camps saved her basketball dreams. She came back from camp that year with her love of the game back, her motivation to excel back, several new friends and increased skill level on top of all that. I recommend NBC camps to everyone I know and have recruited 6 kids to go to these camps." Shonette Benson, Youth Coach & Parent of Campers

It also challenges both side of their brain and helps to develop quick twitch muscle fibers. My son really enjoyed this camp. I also like the messages that NBC delivers to all campers such as "goal setting, attitude, and leadership. I also appreciate their Christian principles that were passed on to my son. Also and most importantly, a very sincere Thank you to Mark Johnson, camp Director and Henry Barrera, their skills instructor.

"I have been to a lot of camps and College Prep Camp is special because they teach the whole athlete not just basketball skills, but life skills as well as psychological part of the game. I really enjoyed coach Washburn and his positive coaching as well as the rest of the staff. They were all awesome in their own way!" Cameron Michael, Camper

"This is the third year I have sent my son to NBC camps, with College Basketball Prep Camp being the choice this year. Each year he has improved dramatically and the experience has proven an advantage for Sean as he competes for playing time on a talented varsity team. It is worth flying him across the country for this experience, and I will do so again." Pat Cushman, Parent of Camper

The profound impact of these camps, the staffs, the coaches, the other campers greatly overshadows the impact of the coaches and teams my daughter experiences during the other 50 weeks of the year." Matt Dixon, Parent of Camper

"I got injured the 4th day of camp. Just a bad sprain. The trainers were on it. Felt very taken care of. My mom was not worried after talking to the coach. He assured her things were fine and they were on it. I felt very confident in the way things like this are handled at camp. It was unfortunate and I was bummed but boy this was the ultimate camp. Hopefully I can come back next year and have more than 4 days of the best basketball experience ever. Here's to Ryan, my favorite coach and great mentor. Thanks for everything!"

"NBC Camps changed my life. My outlook on life, let alone basketball has changed. Parents if you send your kids to NBC, you will see that change occur in your child. They start by teaching your child self-discipline, because the coaches don't enjoy disciplining. They understand that your kids are there to play basketball, not to run a million suicides. The coaches provide guidance and are ALWAYS open to talk about anything. They will get up early or stay up late to work on your child's game. Everyone from the coaches to the trainer brings an excellent attitude to every day and drill. There is little downtime so you know your kids are working the whole time and getting your monies worth. This camp is excellent and I really hope that you send your kids to an NBC Camp." Paul Kessler, Camper

"I would highly recommend this camp to all those who love to play basketball like myself. NBC camp not only teaches you new skill about basketball but also about life. I feel I have grown closer to the Lord from this experience. And through God's strength I hold on to my dreams and know that anything is possible. Thank You NBC Camp." Shelby V. Lipscomb, Camper

"Camp taught me basketball on a whole new level of intensity and what I came home with was growth in faith and integrity. Thank you!" Jacob Dorosz, Camper

"NBC Camp was always something I wanted to attend growing up, but was not able to due to my parents financial situation. Now as a parent, I get the opportunity to see the growth as a player and person my son gets from attending NBC. In a way, I am getting the chance to see NBC through my son and it is totally worth it. I can already see him changing as a player and young man. He is also making friends with other players which will make great peers for him growing up. My son loved the camp and so do I. We plan on him attending every year from here on out and we have three future campers on the way as well. I highly recommend NBC to any future players." Anthony Wilson, Camper, and Zearl Wilson, Parent of Camper

It is awesome to watch the coaches inspire and encourage their teams during Intensity Night. I also appreciate the high quality instruction given at these camps as well as the Christian emphasis. What I find most amazing are the stories my boys come home with about the life experiences their coaches have shared with them. My boys are learning what it takes to be a leader on and off the court by coming to these camps. We have told many families about NBC camps and we will continue to do so. Thank you so much for making this such a wonderful experience for our boys." Kim Lopez, Parent of Campers

"My son has attended NBC camps for 5 years. It is the highlight of his summer and we change all schedules for him to attend.

Greg Epperson, Parent of Camper

I would highly recommend this camp to anyone and both my daughters will be attending again next year!" Doug Shelton, Parent of Camper

"We've done NBC camp for eight years now and my daughter still asks, every year, to go back. The skills she learns there are not just about basketball but life too. She has improved her skills and performance every year she has gone.

Recently I have been invited by college coaches to do ID camps and I am looking forward to my final year of high school with great prospects for continuing to play ball at the next level. NBC has helped me become a better person and avoid negative influences. This has made me more dedicated to my sport and my studies at school. Thanks!" Derek Wolf, Camper

"As a parent of a camper, I have coached basketball for years. I was very impressed at the level of instruction and the teaching techniques used to assist campers master some very difficult skills with ease. I learned a lot just from coming to the last hour of the sessions each day." J. R. Paul, Parent of Camper

"I found NBC Basketball Camp an awesome place to be! As a player with one year of junior high basketball played, NBC answered a lot of the questions I had both on and off the court not only in skills but in leading not only my teammates, but others around me as well. I look forward to putting these new skills and mindset to work this year, and returning next year to improve more!" Braeden Fox, Camper

"NBC Camps have proven to be a life changing experience for our daughter. Even at the age of 11 she came home excited to share not only the skills she learned but the discussions that were had at the end of the day in D-groups. She loved her coaches and is dreaming of one day being part of the NBC coaching staff. Thank you so much for giving her such a positive experience!" Jeff and Lara Mercie, Parents of Camper

Jacob learned so much and I am so excited to see him take what he has learned at camp onto the court with his team. We are looking forward to more summers with NBC!" Amy Thompson, Parent of Camper

The camp was a great experience and the thing we most wanted our son to walk away with was more self confidence, and he did. He cannot wait to go back next year.

My teams will benefit from the knowledge I learned at your camp, and my children will be attending your camps in the future." Monte S. Campbell, Camper

"NBC Camps gave me the opportunity to grow as a leader and interact with some of the most amazing people I have ever encountered. NBC Camps is more than just a sports camp, it is a family. The relationships I formed through NBC Camps are among the most important in my life. Staff and coaches at NBC Camps inspire me to rise above and live above the line in my life.

When I came to work for NBC Camps, I did not have much leadership experience. However, effective leaders like Fred Crowell, Jennifer Ferch, and Danny Beard mentored me and set amazing examples for me. My NBC Camps family gave me the skill set I needed to excel in law school and as a lawyer. NBC Camps is the most professional, effective, and life-changing organization I have ever been a part of and I am so thankful for the honor of working with the exceptional campers, coaches, and staff who comprise NBC Camps. Here's to 40 more successful years!" Noah Patterson, Former Camper and Staff Member

"My daughter was a camper at your recent camp . I would like to take a minute to thank you and all the staff at nbc. And to give you a little fun history of Neah Bay and NBC Camp. My daughter returned home on fire not only for basketball, but most important with a renewed commitment to the Lord! This was truly a life changing experience ! Her experience reminded me of the old nbc camp I went to at Medicine lake back in the eighties. lol Which also was life changing for me too. I was the first Neah Bay person to attend a NBC Camp. And our HS team was the first girls team from Neah Bay to make it to the state tournament . My sister Judy Ray and myself coached the next team to make it in the nineties , that team also attended NBC but the team camp. The rest is history those girls had children and nieces and nephews , now they all have attended NBC Camps , some have made the all-stars and some have traveled on your tour teams! So on behalf of this little town thank you! Thank you! Your camp is helping make a positive change here one camper at a time! God bless you and give you and your family many years of helping the youth be as successful for generations to come." Parent of Camper

“No single experience in my youth was more impactful in shaping the direction of my adult life than attending NBC Camps. I knew I had a strong desire to want to be a leader someday in whatever I did, but NBC taught me that leadership is about relationships and about serving. The game of basketball provides such a great avenue to excel in the development of these two areas and nobody teaches it better than NBC. NBC Camps taught me how to prepare to be excellent in whatever I did and I’ve tried to live a life that acknowledges that the pain of discipline is so much less than the pain of regret. As a leader and mentor to young men, I have applied every aspect of my NBC education both on the court and off the court every single day of my adult life, and I am so thankful that I made the decision as a youth to join the NBC family!” Rhett Soliday, 10 years as college coach Concordia University, 4 years – top assistant 2003 NAIA National Champions, 2004 NAIA Runners Up, UC Irvine 4 years– Assistant Coach, Vanguard University – 3rd season as head coach

We grew closer together and laughed our way through the week! They have some of the best college players in the country, teaching the girls new fundamentals. I can ensure that anyone who attends the NBC camp or overseas tour will leave a much better basketball player. It definitely gives you a better understanding of the sport.

“My son called me after the day themed "mental toughness." Without prodding from mom he went on for 20 minutes about how he wants to be the player on his team that is seen as mentally tough; he wants to commit, to follow through, and to push himself. His comments were insightful, deeply honest, and I sat there with tears in my eyes--this session was very timely. After a tough freshman year he was finally getting "it" and NBC camp, and his coaches, ignited a new fire in him. The next night he phoned and spoke with his dad. And he has come home a more mature young man; I see him using the personal skills he learned at camp. I would highly recommend your camps! Thanks." Jeanne Owens, Parent of Camper
