NBC Basketball Camps at Pacific Union College offers a High School Complete Player Basketball Camp for boys ages 14–18 and a Middle School Complete Player Basketball Camp for boys ages 11–14. The Complete Player basketball curriculum covers defense, ball handling, offensive moves, team movement, and understanding of the game, with 6–10 hours per day of basketball skill work, drills, games, tournaments, and leadership training. Campers are grouped by age, skill, and experience, and high school athletes are placed in teaching groups based on age, ability, and gender with a high pace focused on skill mastery, mental toughness, and leadership on and off the court, while middle school teaching focuses on accurate skills, foundational excellence, decision making, pattern recognition, and confidence building. Roommates need to be requested at least two weeks before camp begins; if no preference is given, campers are matched with a camper of the same gender and similar age, with usually 2 campers per room and shared common bathrooms, and coaches of the same gender stay in the dorms for supervision. The staff includes an outstanding coaching staff chosen based on high integrity and character, with approximately a 1:10 staff-to-camper ratio, and most camps have an athletic trainer on-site to help with illness or injury.
NBC Camps states that “NBC” stands for “Nothing Beats Commitment” and that its motto is “better players, better people,” with a philosophy that daily habits reveal future success. The program teaches the importance of gratitude, confidence, goals, self-discipline, mental toughness, building stronger families and friendships, and developing a strong personal faith, with servant leadership at the core of NBC Camps. Coaches are trained to serve others, be intentionally engaged with each camper, and operate as professionals, and NBC states that each camper is vitally important, valued, and has incredible potential. NBC describes Intensity Night as involving sweat, music, encouragement, and confidence building, and says it allows campers to work harder than they have ever worked before, and camp events also include the Evening Program and All-Star Games.
The Golden Ruler Award is described as the highest achievement at NBC Camps and is designed to teach campers to become a person of depth and reflection while instilling the importance of community service, discipline, and accountability. Only campers ages 13–18 may try for the Golden Ruler Award, and the criteria include journaling, designing workouts, memorization, testing, essays, and more. NBC invites athletes ages 14–18 on international tours through the NBC Travel Teams program. NBC Camps states that it is celebrating 55 years of camp excellence and that it is one of the largest and most respected sports camps in the world, offering summer camps, fall and spring training academies, year-round clinics, and international travel teams in six countries.
Players are expected to supply their own athletic equipment, including at least one pair of well-broken-in basketball (court) shoes, and campers need to bring their own ball clearly labeled with their name. NBC Camps is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Campers with allergies, dietary restrictions, or medical concerns are asked to include this information on their registration so campus staff and camp staff can be prepared for their arrival and meals. There is no air conditioning in the housing, and campers are encouraged to bring a fan.
