CIC-- COLLEGE PREP CAMP
Testimonials

"As a former camper and coach at NBC Camps, I can’t think of a situation that would be more beneficial for a young basketball player than the CIC camp.  Fred and Jay, and their staff are committed to making each camper the best player, and best person they can be.  They will work incredibly hard on the court, but the most inspiring changes will be made in their mind and heart.  This is the first step to success in life.  I believe and live by the values they teach in this intensive camp.  It isn’t for everyone, but it is for those who want to be to best on and off the court."

Ryan Carr
Head Scout Indiana Pacers

"Last year as a first time college athlete, it was hard to know exactly what to expect moving on from high school.  With the help of the coaching staff at CIC, I entered camp as a young college player and in that week of intense workouts, I graduated as a much better prepared, more mature college athlete.  I strongly recommend the camp to not just high school athletes, but college level athletes as well."

Jasmine Stohr

"NBC gave me the top skills training in basketball, the will to work hard, the will to win, and the kind of selfless giving that can breed greatness in others.  I have never stopped being thankful for the years I spent as a student-athlete at NBC Camps.”

"Expecting a camp similar to my community college summer week experiences, I was shocked, leveled, and completely changed by what I encountered.  I hope that NBC continues to grow and push young athletes to become more than they already are.  You are teaching more than you know."

“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.”

"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 CIC 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

From Summer 2010 Surveys

NBC Camps are amazing. They teach basketball skills and life skills in a created environment that is comfortable and enjoyable. Every year I look forward going to a NBC Camp. The level of competition is great, the staff is always energetic and enthusiastic, and you meet a lot of new kids every year. I would highly recommend NBC Camps if you want to become a better athlete/basketball player and overall person. It is an amazing experience to be a part of one of their camps. Camper

This is the best camp I've ever been to the staff is great the coaches are first rate. It is just an amazing environment! The life lessons they teach you will stick forever. The life lessons are by far more important than anything they could have taught me basketball wise. I am truly greatful for CIC basketball camp. - Ben W.

I appreciate the effort done with my daughter to improve her to be a better player and person. Tarek G.

At the Crowell Intensity Camp, my son learned discipline both on and off the court. I would highly recommend it to any boy or girl at any age! Parent of Camper.

The camp is packed with intensity, and I can't wait until I can go again next year!!!! First year Camper

The camp improved me mentally and physically. I became closer to God and look at religion differently. I became stronger with the ball and more confident in myself. I made many new friends and learned about leadership and encouragement. CIC helped me start on a path of goal-setting, confidence, serving others, and being a better servant to God. I could not thing of a better way to spend my summer than with NBC. Martine D.

I like this camp because not only does it teach you about the game of basketball but it teaches you how to become a better person, inside and out. If you want to play at the next level (college), this is the best camp for you to go to. Justin W.

NBC camps has made me a better parent, wife, Coach, and mentor to the young people I surround myself with. I am able to share the lessons I have learned with my students, my team, and my family. I look forward to attending camp just as much as my daughter. I will treasure the time I have spent watching her grow into the kind of player and person she would like to become as an adult. NBC Camps has been a gift. I am already looking forward to next summer! Thank you - Louise McKnight Anacortes Middle School Boys and Girls Basketball Coach NBC Team Camp Coach CIC Camp "WOW" Mom

I have been to a lot of Camps and CIC 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 L.

I would recommend this camp to others seeing that it helped me to become a better player. Not only am I stronger and more informed on my skills, but I have acquired plans and knowledge to continue to become a better player after the camp had ended. Camper

This is the third year I have sent my son to NBC camps, with Crowell Intensity 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 C.

We travel at great expense from Hawaii every year to attend NBC Basketball Camps. 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 D.

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! Trenton P.
