Mission

Crowell's Intensity Camp is America's toughest basketball camp. Our major goal is to help players take their game to a higher level. We believe when athletes are pushed beyond their limits and train with other top athletes under quality instruction and coaching - improvement happens. In NBC Camps 32 year history this is the most challenging camp we have ever offered. This is ten days of "Boot Camp" basketball. You will be challenged both physically and mentally. This camp has the potential to be the best basketball training experience of your high school career. It is for players who want to live, breath, dream and play basketball with coaches who are ready to challenge and motivate. The primary purpose of this tough as nails 10-day intensity camp is to be the ultimate experience in basketball and life skill's training. The goal is to empower athletes to take their God-given abilities to the highest possible levels of achievement. The coaching philosophy is based on building confidence through a rigorous schedule in a positive environment. The reward is athletes becoming better basketball players and better people. If you have major goals in the game of basketball (all-state player, college scholarship) and in life, Crowell's Intensity Camp will definitely help you reach your goals.
