Located in the United States, Canada, UK, and Italy NBC Camps provides a camp experience unlike any other. NBC Camps began in 1971 as Northwest Basketball Camp. Founder Fred Crowell thou ght it a leap of faith to call it "Northwest" Basketball camp as he began the first camp held in Cusick, Washington. Crowell, at the age of twenty-three became one of the youngest Division 1 coaches in America. Under his coaching, University of Alaska Fairbanks had its first winning season in the history of the college. He left Alaska and joined Campus Crusade for Christ as the first coach for Athletes in Action, a program facing top 20 teams night after night, sharing a message of community and wholeness, and developing into one of the winningest exhibition teams in history. Crowell dreamed of a basketball camp that would train athletes to win both on and off the court.He wanted a program that would provide the best basketball training, create an atmosphere of encouragement, hard work, respect and compassion, and teach athletes to compete not only physically but with their hearts and minds. More than thirty-five years later, NBC Camps now has over 70 residential basketball camps, International tours, year round basketball mentorship training, volleyball, soccer and speed explosion camps. NBC Camps partners with US Sports Camps, home of Nike Camps worldwide. Together, NBC Camps works to provide the ultimate basketball camp experience.
