NBC’s long history of instructing athletes to become their very best together with the outstanding facilities at Bakersfield Christian HS provide an ideal location for campers to pursue excellence in all areas of their lives.
NBC Camps provides this skill building camp in Bakersfield to help increase the skill level of athletes ages. During this formative time, building skill mastery is crucial. It takes about 50-100 accurate repetitions over three days to learn a new skill. It takes about 2500 accurate repetitions over three weeks to undo a skill learned incorrectly. At NBC Camps, we believe it is worth the investment to help younger athletes learn a skill accurately. We also believe having fun is crucial for future passion.
