ABOUT THE CAMPUS
Walla Walla University was founded in 1892 as Walla Walla College. On the beautiful campus, NBC campers will be staying in the University dormitories. Each room has two beds with nearby private shower facilities. The dorms are not air-conditioned and we encourage you to bring a fan. The cafeteria provides all-you-can-eat meals. There is an athletic facility with three full courts and a swimming pool, and two school gymnasiums situated on the edge of campus. For soccer camp, there are three fields on campus (including two with lights). Walla Walla University is located just next to Walla Walla in College Place, Washington, about an hour from the Tri-cities.

NBC Camps coaches are known for their hard work, great attitude, and commitment to helping you reach your potential on and off the court. Our curriculum focuses on helping you master even the most difficult skills as well as developing leadership, mental toughness, and confidence.
The NBC Difference
Unlike other camp programs where skills training falls under the expertise of the camp director, NBC Camps has built a program of training to help each camper walk out of camp a better player and person. Our site directors work as event managers helping to run a great week of camp and facilitating the implementation of our specific camp expectations. Our basketball instruction is based on skill curriculum and talent development we believe are essential to take your game to the next level. Though coaching styles and drills may change, our master teachers receive DVDs, lesson plans, and detailed training on how to maximize this week of camp. Coaching at camp is much different than coaching a team. With over 40 years experience, our goal is to give you the best basketball and life skills instruction possible.

Excellent skill training
NBC Camp made a positive impression on both of our daughters that attended camp this past week. At ages 10 and 11, basic ball handing skills are a must and NBC did not let us down. We would highly recommend NBC Camp to all kids wanting to learn to play hoops. The staff/coaches were incredible! And our girls learned some core values that I think will influence the way they conduct their lives both as athletes and individuals.
Thank You!!
The personal growth our daughter experienced at camp was an unexpected gift which resulted from her experience at camp - thank you!!
Made friends and learned a lot
I learned a lot at NBC basketball camp. The counselors and campers were easy to become friends with and everything worked well.
