Camp Details
Want to have an NBC Camp in your community? Contact Michelle Maguire at MMaguire@nbccamps.com or 1-800-406-3926 ext. 304.
NBC Camp's unique curriculum of building athletes from the inside out focuses on hard work, skill mastery, intensity, self-discipline, enthusiasm and the desire to walk away from camp a better player and person. NBC Camps will offer a taste of the NBC Camp product for athletes in Alaska or any Native community. Though a different product from our very comprehensive overnight camps, these day camps will give athletes the accountability and training to help improve their skills and leadership ability without leaving the village.

So thankful!
This was a great week for all kids who participated in the basketball camp. Having people who come from another town and, or city, and acknowledges the challenges and problems we face here in our regional communities, like suicide, is not a regular thing. The guys and ladies who were here to hold the event were very respectful toward the kids, our culture and problems we face here in our communities. Most people come here to our town just to chase that currency and have no respect for the people and culture. We need more people like these NBC coaches to come here for our youth. Imagine how much it would cost, and does cost, to send our children to other locations to participate in camps like this. The people of our community should feel honored to have respectful people like these coaches, who came to our community to help teach our children how to be better on, and most of all, off the court. Thank you for coming to our town and doing something great for our children and passing on a powerful and positive message. Our community is very thankful!

Life Changer
Fred, Thank you so much for coming out to Nelson Island School and working with our children. The skills that you, Justin, and Katie teach go far beyond basketball skills. In a few days, our children also have a stronger sense of ownership, responsibility, and respect for themselves, their fellow teammates, and their overall attitude towards life. The message shared is also one of love. As you share your talents and skills in basketball, you also share the message that each one of them is a valuable person in their own right. Your ministry here is making a positive difference; you are truly changing lives. Thank you for your hard work and all that you do. Thank you, Daryl

Grateful
Please let Fred know we are all grateful for all that he and his team at NBC have done for all of us here in our region and the great State of Alaska. Basketball has been something that has given so many kids and families hope out here when all seems lost and so desolate. It breathes fire into our communities and builds camaraderie and teamwork and in the end the competition, though fierce, is friendly and new friendships are born. What I really appreciate about Fred and his work is that it is always more than basketball. It is about people and making them feel valued and worthwhile and to me that is worth more than anything we can teach our kids. Life in the village is very hard and we deal with so many struggles and basketball seems to be something that reaches across the generations and is fun and is something that everyone seems to get. Although it is not traditional it is a means for getting the message across to the kids and with all of our problems our communities face it helps sends that positive message that we so need right now.Thank you Fred and it warms my heart to see all the familiar names in your letter. It really is wonderful what has started out here and I hope we can keep it going. Quyana.
