NBC Camps International Tours has been set up to reward those campers who have been making good choices in their life. We are looking for athletes who display the positive principles we promote at camp. People who display confidence, have a positive self-image, a high regard for others, a good-to-excellent athletic ability, and openness to growing in their personal faith. Experience the personal development which emerges from encountering other cultures, history and people. View Video.

THINGS YOU NEED TO KNOW:

NBC Tours is excited to be celebrating 30 years of sending out tours the summer of 2008. It is our goal to give the athletes an experience of a lifetime. The students will have many opportunities to compete, meet people, and develop lifelong friendships. We have a three-fold purpose for sending out the tours:

To provide an environment for athletes to grow in their understanding of history, culture, community, and faith.
To increase enthusiasm for sports and improve athletic skills through a broad level of competition.
To promote international goodwill.

Fred Crowell, NBC Camps Founder and President has stated NBC Tours is the Mercedes of NBC Camps.

For years we have sent athletes from the United States and Canada all over the world to play basketball, volleyball and soccer. To many it has been one of the highlights of their athletic careers. We have found that young people experience a tremendous amount of personal growth on a NBC Tour:

Educationally you will grow, learn and develop a world vision for your life.
Psychologically you will develop new and important social skills, have more self-confidence and develop leadership skills.
Spiritually you will be in an environment where personal faith in God is encouraged and will empower you to greater personal joy and achievement.
Athletically you will improve as a player, as you will be playing very competitive international teams.

Info on Tour Director Bonnie Tucker

I cannot dunk or run down the court and bounce the ball at the same time. I am not real great when it comes to volleyball – always seems like the ball hits me in the face (in fact when I was in high school another girl who was very athletic threatened to beat me up if I did not play better); when it comes to soccer, I loved the exercise but could never get the ball pass the goalie. But despite all this, I can really direct site seeing tours. I would love to have you ask any tour members about my walking tour in London – I can out walk those young people and what a privilege to take them by Big Ben at a certain hour, let them spend some time in front of the Palace and then take them to the Original Hard Rock Café and have a great lunch so we have some more energy to get walking and site seeing again.

What a privilege for me to get to know tour members and their families during the months that lead up to the summer tour. I absolutely love the first few hours of summer training, watching the tour members, their families and our tour staff interact. I compare those first few hours to the last hour of tour when they are saying their goodbyes at the airport (usually the baggage claim) after spending approximately 2 weeks together.

This summer will be my 22nd summer with NBC Camps, my 5th year as the Tour Director and I am so excited to see what the summer brings for our Tour Members and our Tour Staff.
