300,000 kids went to basketball camp and came home changed forever.

Host Ric Hansen and friends; Joe Michaels, Klem Daniels, Greg Cook and more! Season 1 Episode 10

Fred Crowell is a coach, counselor, author and master motivator.  He was the head basketball coach at the University of Alaska-Fairbanks and one of the youngest head coaches ever hired at the age of 23.  He founded NBC Camps in 1971 and has built the organization to one of the largest and most successful sports camps in the world. 

In this episode, you'll hear about his aha Jesus moment.....
how camp became so much more than Basketball,
and why he's not afraid to die.

This is truly one of the most powerful conversations and inspiring stories that I have been blessed to share.
